Watch Your Language

Language and terminology around diversity and inclusion is constantly evolving, and can be confusing. We know that one of the biggest barriers to progressing inclusion work is a fear of saying the wrong thing.

We’ll talk you through the key terms you need to be aware of, help you understand best practice when it comes to inclusive language and, most importantly, why any of this matters.

We will also help you be prepared for the inevitable missteps and disagreements that you will experience when it comes to language as you progress along your inclusion journey.

This session will give you and your team confidence in speaking about and understanding the inclusion landscape, whilst empowering you to work collectively on shared definitions that will help everyone communicate more effectively.

Who is this course for?

This training is for those who are just beginning their inclusion journey and feel confused about terminology in this area. The session will benefit people at all levels and across all roles and functions of your organisation.
