We are excited about the ISO Plain Language Standard launch. This step towards a global, supported, standard is important for all of  us in the profession—learners, teachers, practitioners, and advocates.

The International Plain Language Federation uses this definition for their upcoming ISO standard document.
​

"A communication is in plain language if its wording, structure, and design are so clear that:
  • it provides the intended readers with what they want, 
  • ensures they can quickly find what they need,
  • helps them easily understand what they find, and
  • can effectively be used."

It's at the heart of PLA training.

If you have questions, please get in touch with us for coaching, consulting or training support.
