We all know how important it is to use the ‘right’ language and terminology – to be inclusive, to reflect and respect different identities. But the way we talk about identity and culture is constantly evolving so it can be confusing.

If you want to understand and explore this topic further – this is the session for you. We’ll cover all the key terms and characteristics associated with diversity:
- Equality, equity, diversity and inclusion
- Different terms to describe people of different races
- The use of pronouns – gender, transgender and non-binary
- Ableism and disablism
- Sexuality.
The session will bring you up to speed with the latest best practice. It will raise your awareness and confidence by ensuring you understand the appropriate term to use in different circumstances and the implications of getting it wrong.
There’ll be time to ask questions about particular areas or terms as well as debate any issues that are concerning you.
Who should attend?
Everyone who wants to raise their awareness of the language around diversity and the most appropriate terms to use.
