More than Words: Communication for All

 

Communication connects us, but we all communicate differently. Good, inclusive communication matters to us all. It helps us live well and take part in our communities.

Most of us will need communication support at some point in our lives. However, because there is a lack of good support, people frequently encounter problems accessing work, education, health and social care services, and community life.

Sign up to our campaign to ensure communication for all - because communication is about more than just words.

Taking part is voluntary and you can withdraw at any time. Any information you share will be used in line with the ALLIANCE’s privacy policy.
