The Accessible Information Standard (DAPB1605) aims to ensure that people who have a disability, impairment or sensory loss:

  • can access and understand information about NHS and adult social care services
  • receive the communication support they need to use those services

This guidance helps NHS and adult social care organisations understand their obligations under the standard and provides advice and resources to help them comply with it.
