Accessible Information Service

We make your information easy to understand so it can reach more people. 

Our aim is to remove information barriers so everyone can make informed choices and do more for themselves.

TILII Translates was set up in 2019 with support from Belfast Health and Social Care Trust. 

Our services are run with Experts by Experience. Their different communication needs and skills help us make your information more accessible. 

We make

  • Easy Reads
  • and plain English scripts and films.

A check and approve service is also offered. It tells you how to make your information more accessible.

“This makes such a difference for people who want to read and know about our plans.”

Easy Reads

We turn your written information into Easy Reads.

Easy Reads make hard information easy to understand by using

  • simple words
  • short sentences
  • and pictures to help explain what is being said.

They are used by

  • people with a learning disability
  • people who find it hard to read and write
  • people who have memory problems
  • and people who do not speak English as their first language.

Scripts and Films

We make plain English scripts using the information you give us.

These scripts can be turned into films presented by TILII members.

Films can also be made with people you support if full written consent is given in advance.
