Professional Practice Code

Fresh Look Editing adheres to the Professional Practice Code created by the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP). As outlined by the Code: 

“Good communication between client/employer and freelancer/employee is essential. Clear briefing and the agreement of terms are vital if high standards are to be maintained by both parties, and unsurprisingly they’re emphasised by the Code.

In addition, the Code includes guidance on: the professional behaviour of both freelancer/employee and client/employer; standards for proofreading, editing and project management; and information on web editing, electronic file handling, email etiquette, confidentiality and computer security.”
