Join Bryony Shannon, to explore why language matters in social work and social care.

Exploring Gloriously Ordinary Language

Language is powerful. The words we choose to use reflect and influence the way we think, feel, and behave.

Join Bryony Shannon for what promises to be a thought-provoking half-day Zoom workshop exploring why language matters. During the session, we'll:

  • look at the story we are currently telling about the purpose of social care, about each other, and about our practice

  • expose how much of our dominant language doesn’t align with a rights-based, relational way of working, or indeed with people living Gloriously Ordinary Lives, and

  • consider how we might shift our narrative and rewrite social care.
