Plain English

Plain English is for everyone. It's not for people with cognitive impairment. It's not for people who speak English as a second language.

It's for doctors and teachers and SENCOs and other busy professionals. It's for parents and young people who need to do something to make their lives better.

Plain English is  especially for people who are looking for something on the web.

It's not patronising. It's not oversimplified.

So what is plain English?

It's a clear and concise message, written with a reader in mind.

Once you have finished this course, you'll have had a lot of practice in writing plain English. And you'll enjoy the feeling that whoever reads your words will thank you.
