SAIF: The Scottish Formats Resource 2009/2010 just released!

Added on Monday 5 Oct 2009

 

The Scottish Formats Resource - updated version for 2009/2010 has now been released.
 
SAIF’s “Standards for Disability Information and Advice Provision in Scotland” stresses the importance of making information readily available in whatever format or language the recipient asks for.
 
The Scottish Formats Resource is a useful contribution to this aspect of accessible information, containing details of transcription, translation and interpretation services available to Scotland.
 
Electronic communication makes the actual location of services less important and some service providers based outwith Scotland are included in the resource.
 
The Scottish Formats Resource is produced and published by UPDATE, Scotland’s national disability information provider in partnership with the Scottish Accessible Information Forum.  More details can be found at www.update.org.uk

SAIF's ecommunication working group is currently reviewing the "Making Information Accessible" series of checklists to make them even more useful and in line with current legislation.  They will be available in hard copy and to download from February 2010.  The existing checklists are still available from our publications page.

SAIF is also reviewing its in-house training courses and a flyer will be sent out in the New Year.  Sign up for our ebulletin to make sure you receive a copy.  In the meantime keep an eye on our training page for updates.

SAIF's Guide to User-led Reviews has been piloted by 2 organisations, FAIR and Fife Traumatic Brain Injury  Service, to carry out a review of their services with the full involvement of their service users.  To read their findings check out our publications page
