Here are this year's Plain English Campaign awards. It's been a year during which clear information was often hard to find. The Government did little to help us understand Covid-19, or what we were supposed to do to help to combat the pandemic. The 'Stay Alert' health information campaign was a disaster that led to inevitable confusion. Our Foot in Mouth winner epitomises dangerous ignorance where clear, cautious guidance was vitally important. Yet there were as ever many reliable sources of genuine news, and once again many heroic proponents of clear information and plain language during unprecedented times.
