Ombudspersons

Are you a peer researcher in the Easy Reading project? Or do you participate in our user testings? Do you have questions or concerns? Then you can reach out to your ombudsperson.

An ombudsperson will help you. She can answer your questions or take them up with other members in the project and try to find a solution.

Questions you can ask your ombudsperson might be:

  • About the data we collect about you
  • About what rights you have
  • About how you feel when you are taking part in the user testing

Germany, Austria and Sweden each have their own ombudsperson, so you can always speak your own language. All ombudspersons have experience working with people who have cognitive disabilities.
