This heart breaking story is another stark reminder of why accessible communication is so important.
The coroner found that a standard benefits letter — sent even though her vulnerabilities were known — had a very significant impact on her mental health and contributed to her death.
At BTM, we see every day how the format and tone of information can make the difference between someone feeling supported… or completely overwhelmed.
We co produce information with people with lived experience because they know best what works, what feels safe, and what helps people understand their rights and options.
Accessible, person centred communication saves lives.
No one should ever be put at risk because vital information wasn’t delivered in a way they could cope with.
A coroner wrote to the DWP to express her concerns after the death of Tamara Logan in Tameside.
Here’s a little Deaf group blooper to end the week — because not everything goes perfectly, and that’s half the fun! 😂
Hope this gives you a smile heading into the weekend. Happy Friday everyone! ✨

Here’s one of a few BSL clips we’re sharing for Health Information Week 2026.
Our clips focus on barriers — and what we actually need to have equal access to health information. Access shouldn’t be an afterthought; it should be there from the start.
All the clips are in British Sign Language from our workgroup.
More clips coming soon 👀✨

At BTM… we are committed to enabling any person who cannot access the written word for whatever reason, access to any information they may need or want to enable them to live a full and happy life that they are in control of.
This includes people with:
visual impairment
poor literacy skills
learning disabilities
other disabilities that make it difficult to use the written word
English as a second language
We have, over 35 years, built up a broad range of skills and knowledge in developing and delivering accessible work and presentations. Accessible information is vital for communicating with people who have restricted ability to see and read effectively. We have custom-built audio and filming studios which enables us, with our work groups, to respond quickly to peoples information needs.
It is estimated that in the UK something in the region of 1,750,000 people are blind or partially sighted, 1,087,100 people have a Learning Disability and 89,000 Deaf people who are British Sign Language users. These figures do not take into account people who are mental health service users, people with dyslexia, those who for various physical reasons, such as paralysis and arthritis, are unable to hold reading material and others who may be classified as print-disabled. Add this to a wide range of people whose first language is not English and it is clear there is an ever increasing need to ensure quality of provision for as wide a cross-section of our communities as possible.
