do plain english rewrite of survey form

[struan]

It's been pointed out that the language on the analysis data form could do with improving to make it clearer what information we want and what we do not want.

Currently it is:

I've had a go at this, although in doing so have remembered I'm no expert in Plain English. If anyone can improve, please do.

Aims:

• Easier for everyone to understand even if they have low literacy skills
• Dissuade people from sharing personal info

We'll also need to update the Privacy Policy I think. However, I'm not sure if what I have written is true. I'm happy to have a go at adding to the PP if anyone can confirm how the information is stored (eg with postcodes?)

If you have time, could you answer two questions?

• Can you tell us, in one sentence, what your message was about?

Just the general topic - please don't include any personal information.

• Why did you write to your representative?

• Personal You were trying to get a problem fixed, for yourself or someone you know

• Campaigning You were trying to get something changed in the wider world

We won't link your answers to your personal details. We'll keep them anonymous, and use them, together with everyone else's answers, to understand more about why people use WriteToThem. See our Privacy Policy here.

Adding this onto here, at the request of @ajparsons :

This is currently the screen you see if you click 'no' on the survey asking whether you had a response from your MP, and then 'yes' as to whether you have contacted them before.

It could do with an update, perhaps:

Many thanks for letting us know

We use this data to help us :

• understand whether WriteToThem is encouraging more people to participate in democracy
