Participation is about being involved in and contributing to a process. Accessibility, in communications and environments, is all important in enabling significant participation to happen. Access for All is an extensive set of guidelines for everyone on how to ensure communications are easy and clear, and details what it takes to create relaxed and comfortable environments. The handbook describes common obstacles, how to overcome them with specific procedures and planning. Particular sections concentrate on using simple language and what accessibility means in practice. This covers the printed word, Braille, audio cassettes and translating into other languages. The demands of holding a successful presentation or discussion – using visuals, speech and videos – are also analysed. The book also covers general organisation, financing, and ways of learning from experience, ending with a contacts list for further information.
