Gloriously Ordinary Language
Real. Inclusive. Human.
With Tricia Nicoll and Bryony Shannon
Are you working in or with an organisation where most of the language people use isn’t what you would use in the kitchen with your family, or in the café or pub with your mates?
Do you feel, like we do, that this is not ok?
We think too much of the language people use in and about social care reveals and shapes attitudes and ways of working that prevent people from living gloriously ordinary lives. We believe that the language of social care should be ordinary. Everyday words about everyday life. And we think our language should be glorious. Wonderful words about flourishing lives.
Rehumanise.
Reconnect.
Reimagine.
Gloriously Ordinary Language is an exciting new eight-month programme for local councils and other social care organisations who want to rehumanise their language, reconnect practice with personal and organisational principles and reimagine care and support.
