STAYOK.uk Stay Ok is an easy read website for people with learning disabilities and autism living in the Thames Valley. We believe it is the first of its kind in the country. It is designed to provide information and guidance on staying safe whilst at home, and out and about in the community covering a range of topics such as healthy relationships, exploitation and grooming, online safety and hate crime. Statistics show that people with learning disabilities are more likely to be victims of these crimes yet there is a lack of easy read information available to them. To keep the website interesting there are also quizzes, videos and games all designed to keep people safe. The website is split into two sections, one which is completely easy read and the other is a resources toolkit for parents, carers and professionals. The website was designed by Buckinghamshire Council in partnership with Talkback. Talkback is a local charity that supports people aged 16 or older with a learning disability and or autism. Focus groups from Talkback were used to test and choose all aspects of the website down to the name and the colour palette. The funding was provided by the Thames Valley Domestic Abuse Coordinators.
