Information About

Plain English Campaign




They provide a document certification service to organisations, which allows the organisation to use the widely-recognised ''crystal mark'' in a document to certify that it is written in plain English.

They also give a Foot In Mouth Award for "a baffling quote by a public figure".

Many legal and governmental organisations in the UK now use plain English in their public documents.
