  1. The journey of the Jargon Busters

  2. Where we started In November 2008 we put together a proposal for the Swale District Partnership Board to make their leaflet and poster into an easy read version. They agreed that this needed to happen, so, we were given the money and we set to work.

  3. Research • We carried out research on how to • use pictures. • What do they mean to people? • Are you using the right kind of • picture? • Do you really need to use pictures?

  4. Research We found out a lot of information by testing out other forms that had already been made easy read. They did not really work!!

  5. Designing our leaflet We learnt new skills by taking photographs of the important people involved with the Swale District Partnership group. The pictures we took were used in the leaflet.

  6. Designing our posters We all learnt new computer skills while we were designing our posters.

  7. The end product The Swale District Partnership Group was very pleased with the work we did. Stewart and Holly were paid for their hard work and everyone learnt new skills.

  8. What we decided to do next Everyone really enjoyed the work they had done and all said they would like to carry on making other information easy to read. So we set out to find more work!!

  9. Other projects Then the Kent Probation Service gave us some work to complete. We learnt about community orders and bail. We got paid for this work as well.

  10. Finding a name We started to get a lot of work and decided we needed to find ourselves a name. People voted on a poll and the winner was …. Jargon Busters

  11. Our flyer We needed to promote ourselves so we had a flyer designed to tell people what we can do for them.

  12. Moving on…. Jargon Busters Now that we had a name and a leaflet we needed to plan ahead. We planned a team day to talk about our action plan.

  13. Team Day We talked about the laws we follow being part of Jargon Busters. Laura explained how we can change Jargon Busters into a social firm in the future.

  14. Action Plan We started work on our Action Plan and decided who was going to be responsible for each action.

  15. Looking for Funding Laura supported us to answer questions and fill in a funding form. We found this hard! The funding form needs Jargon Busting.

  16. Working in Partnership We have been working with Kent Libraries. We have put together an A to Z book in Health and Fitness. It will be in the libraries from January 2010.

  17. Our Vision In the future Jargon Busters will become a social firm and provide employment for people with and without learning disabilities.

  18. This is the journey so far......... For more information please contact: 07966 791 601 jargonbusters@skillnetgroup.co.uk
