Understanding Equity Language - By Mind
Language and identity are complex. How we describe ourselves is extremely personal – we’ll all be comfortable with different terms. This document outlines language and meaning when working with or talking about those of us who are protected under the Equality Act 2010. It’s not about right or wrong answers but about helping us think more carefully about the language we use. There is also our Communicating about people guide which is designed to be a short practical guide for how you might consider language when writing or speaking about people and covers some of the same topics as this guide.
We’ve called this document ‘understanding equity language’, rather than ‘equality’ because we feel that equity is more accurate in terms of what we’re trying to do as an organisation.
