PLAIN ENGLISH
The National Youth Agency is working towards providing as much information as possible included on the website, in good plain English. The Plain English Campaign defines plain English as something that the intended audience can read, understand and act upon the first time they read it. Plain English takes into account design and layout as well as language.
Many of the documents we include use acronyms and phrases familiar in the youth work field. However we also provide a Glossary of Terms that you may find helpful.
