Accessibility of public information on COVID-19 is a high priority for the Government. We have worked to ensure that key health advice like detailed social distancing guidance is available in multiple languages and alternative formats including large print, British Sign Language, braille in English and Welsh and audio description.

We ensure that we publish guidance on how to access a range of formats on GOV.UK.

We are continually reviewing our communications to ensure they are as accessible as possible.
