What is plain English?


Writing in plain English is all about taking something that's complicated and turning it into something that's straightforward and clear. It's not about talking down to your reader or over simplifying your writing - it's writing in a way your readers will understand. Your readers will thank you for the trouble you have taken to communicate your message clearly and you will potentially save a lot of time and money if you don't have to deal with complaints from confused customers and clients.


If you want to make sure that your documents are easy to read and understand and are not awash with unnecessary jargon, 'officialese' and confusing technical terms, then please contact us to find out what plain English could do for your organisation.


If you decide to adopt the plain English approach you will not be alone. You will be joining many other organisations including government departments, local councils, banks and building societies, insurance companies and health organisations, all of which have become increasingly aware of the importance of communicating clearly.
