SAIF: Making Information Accessible
Guidelines for producing accessible printed and electronic information
About SAIF
The Scottish Accessible Information Forum (SAIF) works to promote and improve the provision of accessible information to disabled people across Scotland.
SAIF is funded by the Scottish Government and is based at Consumer Focus Scotland. SAIF has 2 part-time project workers and an advisory body made up of 21 people drawn from disability-led organisations and information providers.
SAIF supports the right of disabled people to have access to timely and accurate information to meet their needs. Rather than being forced to rely on others, disabled people should, as much as possible, receive information directly and in their preferred format.
SAIF has produced several guidance documents on topics relevant to accessible information. These can be downloaded from the SAIF website. They are also available, on request, in other formats - printed documents, braille, large print.
SAIF offers advice and consultancy to organisations wishing to improve the accessibility of their information. SAIF also offers in-house training on the following topics:
- Accessible Information Awareness
- Making Word Documents Accessible
- Sending Accessible Emails
- Testing the Accessibility of Websites.
