WWILD has created a number of easy read resources to assist workers to work with people with intellectual or learning disabilities. We have also compiled useful resources created by other organisations. These resources should not be used alone, but should be used to help talk through issues and information.
Victims of Crime & Counselling
Information for Victims of Crime – WWILD Easy Read victims of crime page.
Other topics available:
- What to do if Someone has Committed a Crime Against You
- Reporting to Police
- Rights of Victims in the Legal System (Queensland)
- What to Expect
- Going to Court and more
What is Counselling? – This may help in talking with someone about what is involved in counselling and whether they may wish to try counselling. This page is WWILD-specific, but we would suggest other organisations create their own Easy English ‘What is counselling?’ page.

You Deserve to be Safe :A Simple English booklet about Domestic and Family Violence is available now.
As part of the Queensland State Government’s 2017 Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month, WWILD has developed a booklet and accompanying poster, about violence in relationships and who you can talk to about safety.
This booklet was developed with the support of WWILD women and a range of colleagues from the Domestic & Family Violence, Sexual Assault, Disability and Youth sectors.
The aim of this booklet is to use simple English to describe the range of behaviours that might constitute violence in a relationship and some thoughts about what to do/ and who you might talk to about safety.
