Plan International UK web content toolkit

This is the ultimate how-to for Plan International UK’s new website content. It’s the instruction manual for content migration, editing and creation for our website. It links to other Plan International UK guidelines where relevant.

Vision and principles

Our vision statement describes why we have a website and how it helps us achieve our mission. It’s our guiding light, our North Star. Our principles are what we live by when we’re doing web content. They underpin our web content strategy and operations, acting as a constitution for decision-making and defining how we work.
