Welcome to the second edition of SAIFnews

The newsletter of the Scottish Accessible Information Forum.

SAIF was set up to take forward the recommendations made by the Scottish Working Group on Information Services for People with Disabilities and Carers, whose final report, published by the Scottish Office in 1995, was called Enabling Information. Both the Full Report and an Abridged version are published on this site.

SAIF believes that, rather than to be forced to rely on others, disabled people should receive information directly and in their preferred format. This will help those with disabilities make informed choices and live independent lives as equal members of society.

SAIF acts as an advisory body to the Scottish Office on issues relating to disabled people and their carers and their right to access information.
