Inclusive Language

What will I learn?

This one day course looks at language from the perspective of different cultures and the protected characteristics identified in the Equality Act 2010. It covers:

* Protected Characteristics: An overview to build awareness and provide a starting point for exploring language.
Language in use, today and yesterday: A chance to consider words and phrases, what they mean and explore how we interpret and understand things differently.

* How and why language changes: A look at how languages grow and change over time and why it seems hard to keep up, plus some tips to ease concerns.

* Cultural considerations: Considering how cultural variation is everywhere and how that affect what is ‘acceptable’ in the language we use

* Labels and Descriptions: A look at the type of language we use refer to ourselves and others, with emphasis on self-identification and empowering people.

* Don’t panic: Thought to take away fears of ‘getting it wrong’, and how to manage it constructively when it does.
