About this event

“Words can invite people in, or keep them out”. Listen to this short podcast about why language matters and the impact this has on people who access services (5 mins) with Catriona Moore and Sally Percival, hosted by Linda Doherty from Think Local Act Personal (TLAP).

Catriona Moore edits TLAP's Care and Support Jargon Buster with its Plain English definitons of the most commonly used jargon in social care.

Sally is a strong advocate for accessible language for everyone.
