Preparing Better Non-Technical Summaries
Aim of the day
The non-technical summary is the most-read section of a project licence, but is often the last section written, when time is short and frustration is high. A clear non-technical summary is a valuable tool; giving lay readers a clear idea of the intended work, and helping you to take a fresh perspective on the project. 
Drafting the NTS can be a process that supports clarity in all other aspects of the project licence. A well-written document will be shared with non-specialists throughout the life of the project to help them understand the aims, objectives and anticipated harms to animals.
This half-day workshop has been designed to guide you in creating a clear NTS that supports the harm-benefit assessment. In this workshop you will shape a NTS that helps your AWERB, technical staff and others understand your project proposal more easily. It will give you the practical skills and confidence to prepare non-technical summaries that are really effective at communicating to non-specialist audiences. 
Topics include: • Showing the harm-benefit • Defining objectives for lay audiences • Using lay language and avoiding jargon
Course notes and other supporting materials will be made available to participants online after the workshop.
