What goes into our booklets?

The expertise and vast experience of our editorial team.

Research
We keep up to date with changes in relevant laws, review best-practice guidelines, and get advice from experts in the field and from people who use the booklets – so we know what information needs to be covered in the booklet.

Writing
Our writers review and summarise the research, explaining to the reader why they need to know about the subject and giving them the information they need.

Illustrating
Our artists illustrate the relevant points to reinforce the information and help the readers' understanding.

Reviewing
Each booklet is reviewed by our editorial team and independent advisors to make sure that the booklet achieves its aims. The copy is also checked by Plain English Campaign to gain the Crystal Mark for clarity.

We do all this to make sure that you have booklets that are:

A choice of illustration style
