The changes of spring - and our business

One day sunshine and heat, the next rain and wind – it’s hard to know what to wear. It’s a bit like how we work; the first meeting of the day might be about EU legislation, the next about how a very small organisation can best manage its PDF documents. Over lunch, we’re hosting a webinar on user involvement in research projects, and the afternoon is devoted to training in cognitive accessibility. The next day is just as varied, but the mix is completely different. Enriching, fun and exciting. In this newsletter, we have selected a few highlights for you to enjoy.

Read aloud text also needs to be clear

Complex text remains complex even when it is read aloud. Plain language is just as necessary for the ear as it is for the eye.
