The impact of accessible formats
In a world where standard communication methods don’t meet everyone’s needs, accessible formats offer a vital bridge to inclusion. Imagine the difference it makes to read a personal letter in large print, to choose a meal from a braille menu at a restaurant, to sit an exam with adapted materials, to explore a new hobby using accessible resources, to vote independently with a braille ballot paper, or to navigate unfamiliar places using a tactile map.
Providing these options are essential for increased independence, dignity, and equal participation. Accessible formats empower people to engage fully with everyday life.
Enhancing daily life
Applications for accessible formats are vast, and crucial for individuals to access essential and recreational information in their daily lives. From the moment we wake up, each person has their own ways of navigating the world, for those with specific needs this can be an ongoing challenge – this is the reason Pia exists.

How it works
The exact process of working with us can differ depending on the nature and volume of the work. However, for ad hoc documents, the sequence of events goes something like this:
Get in Touch
Let us know what you need, providing any detail you may have via our contact form, email, or call.
Send Your Document
Share your file securely with us. We’ll provide a final quote based on your needs, or an estimate if the document is not yet available.
Approve & Confirm
Once you’re happy with the cost and have sent us all the necessary documents and payment details, we’ll confirm your order and give you a dispatch date.
That’s it! From here, we take care of everything.
We Allocate the Work
Our Team Leaders assign your project to the right people. If we need any clarification, someone from our Sales & Marketing team will be in touch.
Transcription & Quality Check
Your document is transcribed by one of our experts, then double-checked by another to ensure accuracy.
Production
We produce your content in the required format – whether that’s printed, embossed, recorded, or saved digitally.
Delivery
We’ll send the finished product to you, or directly to your customer or recipients, depending on your preference.
The following examples are times that work a little differently
Documents are often best suited to the creation of templates, where large volumes of the same document are needed with only small changes to personalise them for individual end users.
For ongoing workstreams we have customers who submit daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual work. In these cases we set up secure cloud-based folders for easy sending and returning of files, and develop rate cards for predictable and consistent costs.
