Learning about voting: easy-read toolkit

This scheme of work encourages conversation and thinking about voting and democracy, to increase engagement among young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
These resources are designed to build knowledge and skills to the point where young people are empowered and equipped to be able to vote themselves. Young people will work through seven topics in order, covering voting and democracy, whether to vote, registering, ways to vote, photo ID, voting in person, and decision-making, alongside standalone activities for plenaries or assemblies.
Developed by NDTi and the Electoral Commission, informed by young people with additional needs, for SEND or mainstream settings.
