What is plain English?
Plain English editing
Plain English training
I have many years of experience of working in privacy, so I specialise in clearly communicating privacy information as well as terms and conditions.
Clear communication helps you achieve the following.
Get your message across first time.
Present yourself or your organisation as friendly and approachable.
Avoid sounding stuffy and bureaucratic.
Avoid confusion and misunderstanding.
Save time and money.
Understand your aims, tone and house style
Edit written materials into plain English
Advise on presentation and layout
Review further drafts

Qualifications and experience
I have a degree in Italian, French and linguistics and I am qualified to teach English as a foreign language.
However, my practical expertise in plain English has come from:
working at Plain English Campaign;
providing training for my previous employers on how to write in plain English;
writing plain English data protection law guidance while at the Information Commissioner's Office;
teaching English as a foreign language overseas, and also in the UK to refugees;
writing internal privacy policies and external privacy notices as a data protection officer for different companies;
editing and drafting internal company policies on a wide range of topics;
providing internal and external privacy training; and
helping a range of clients both improve their written materials and learn how to write in plain English.
While my focus is plain English, the key principles can apply to all languages.
