Standards for Written Products of the NRCDV

This document offers guidance around the production of accessible, clear, quality materials that are consistent across the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence (NRCDV) and reflect its core values and beliefs. These standards have inspired lively discussion and debate across the organization and we welcome suggestions that can help us better honor and reflect the diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences of survivors and advocates in our products. The writing rules offered here are based largely on APA style guidelines and universal accessibility standards for plain language. Sources are provided where more detailed information is available.
