Readers' Panel
Helping us to make
sure communications with residents are clear and direct
We want to make sure our communications
with residents are clear and easily understood - avoiding jargon
and long complicated sentences.
We have asked people from
our Getting Involved Register to form a Readers’ Panel
and give us a residents' eye view on our written publications.
Taking part is easy. We email draft
publications to the panel and ask for comments back by a certain
date. You don’t have to offer comments on every publication we
send, you can participate as often as you want.
All residents who send comments receive
feedback on them. We don’t promise that every suggestion will be
acted on, but we will attempt to explain why editorial decisions
have been made.
We have also developed a ‘resident approved’
badge to show that leaflets, forms and newsletters have gone
through this process and have been ‘passed’ as clear and easy to
understand.
If you would like the opportunity to take part
in the Readers' panel join our Getting
Involved Register. For more information, please contact us or use our
online enquiry form.
