What exactly is plain English?

Information written in plain English is easy to read, understand and make use of, because it makes things clear to most readers.
Plain English is concise but precise. It conveys all the important details that the reader needs to know but does so in a way that's easy to follow. If something is too technical or complicated, people just tend to stop reading. Anything written for the general public should be written in plain English because the public is made up of people with different levels of comprehension.

How does plain English benefit people?

Clear information helps people make decisions about their lives and the world around them. If they have difficulty understanding what they're reading, then it's not as useful to them as it should be.
Clear communication empowers people to take part in social, political, scientific and environmental processes. It enables them to make the right decisions and choices for themselves and for others. It gives them the knowledge to exercise their rights and fight for the rights of others.
People need information of all kinds: about law, health, technology, government, society, the environment, and so on. They have a right to receive it in a form they can easily understand and use.

How would plain English be useful to our organisation?

If more people can understand what you've written then it will naturally reach a wider audience.
Also, plain writing is more likely to be read by all those who are short on time, have little patience or have a short attention span. Nobody likes to struggle to understand what they're reading, even if they're highly educated.
Writing in plain English will immediately give readers a good impression of your organisation. It shows respect for the reader and they are more likely to trust you as a result.
