The witnesses reference the need for the information to be made available in plain English. Simple and accessible language is really important but it also needs to be available in plain Polish, plain Arabic, plain French and plain Spanish. That is really important when circulating the information campaign. If English is not someone's first language, it might be even more important that they have access to relevant information about their employment rights at work. When Ms O'Dea said plain English I was thinking that to myself. I understand the point but we should build on that.
