Plena Inclusión & the Government of the Principality: Court verdicts and summonses in easy language
Channel: Zero Project
Date: 2021-04-30

Welcome to the awardee video of Plena Inclusión & the Government of the Principality of Asturias, a winner of the 2018 Zero Project Award on Accessibility.

The Family Court in Oviedo, in the Spanish province of Asturias, has begun drafting copies of court verdicts and summonses in easy language for persons with intellectual disabilities. The courts send their official documentation to Plena Inclusión Asturias, a regional office of the national NGO Plena Inclusión España, that supports persons with intellectual disabilities, which then converts the documentation into easy language to share with the intended recipient. Following a successful pilot in Oviedo, an agreement has been reached with the provincial government to extend the system to all 27 courts in the province. As of late 2017, about 30 documents have been converted.
