Editing your documents
We edit your text in Word using track changes
Most organisations take their documents for granted. They get so used to them that they stop seeing them from the reader's point of view. Unfortunately, if your documents are unclear, or contain mistakes in spelling or punctuation, the cost to your organisation can be enormous.

Our editing service is the ideal way for you to make sure that your documents are clear and user friendly, and present the right image. Readers quickly give up if they find a document difficult to understand, or if it's hard to find the information they need. We'll look at your documents from the readers' point of view, and make life as easy as possible for them.

Our editing service is the ideal way for you to make sure that your documents are clear and user friendly, and present the right image.
Our service is quick, inexpensive and aimed at giving you the documents you want and need. We're not fussy or pedantic, and our key aim is to make sure your documents are appropriate for your audience.

We've worked with banks, building societies and insurance companies; with law firms, small businesses and charities; with local councils, the NHS and with big government departments such as the Home Office, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. We've edited documents aimed at doctors, barristers and homeless people; at council tenants and pharmacists; at veterinary surgeons and hospital outpatients. And we've been doing this for over 20 years.

Can I have my documents accredited?

Our plain English approved logo tells your readers at a glance that your documents will be easy to read and understand. You can display the logo on any document, web page or website, once we have approved it for plain English. People are much more likely to start reading a document if they know it is going to be in plain English. Read more about the logo, or phone 0114 2571400 and ask for Dave Fox.

Can I have my organisation accredited?

The Committed to plain English logo is ideal for organisations that are committed to using plain English but perhaps don't find it realistic to get all their documents or web pages approved. After all, so many documents are produced as web pages now, and pages appear and change all the time.

You can display the logo on your website and other documents so that people know you are committed to communicating with them in a clear and straightforward way. Read more about the logo, or phone 0114 2571400 and ask for Dave Fox.
