A different perspective on inclusive practice - Respectful language

by Laura M. Chapman

Demonstrating our respect to others is rarely a quantified element of a job description. The organisational protocol and process of professional settings can often sap our humanity. By understanding inequality we can begin to see how the bigger pressures in today’s society can impact on our capacity to empathise. While individually we may have little power over the world, its systems and institutions, acknowledging how inequality affects us all can be a key to freedom. Where unjust habits become the norm they limit our ability and flexibility in word and empathy is lost at great cost to community engagement.
