AYJ Writing Style Guide

To ensure consistency across all published materials, this guide sets out clear communication standards for our team. Grounded in our core values, this guide aims to ensure that the language we use protects children’s rights and dignity, avoids harmful stigma, exposes systemic inequalities, and drives systemic change. We are incredibly grateful to the members of our racial justice expert group for their invaluable feedback on the section covering race and racial disparities.

We are sharing this resource in the hope that it proves useful for your own communications.
