Accessible English Our editorial policy follows best practice in the use of accessible English and information design. Our information is addressed to everyone, and is always proof-read and checked against the Plain English Campaign guidelines before we make it live. We always aim: To use non-technical language. Never to use acronyms, unless we have spelt them out previously. To keep our sentences and paragraphs short and concise. To adhere to formal grammar and correct spelling. To use personal pronouns when addressing the reader. To itemise using bullet points wherever possible. To use whitespace liberally. To leave our text unjustified and ragged along the right-hand edge.
