Leadership Matters Conversations: Inclusive Language and Putting People First (Jun 23) [Video]

This Leadership Matters Conversations session, run by members of our LGBTQ+ community within the ICN, explores the importance of inclusive language (sometimes known as neutral language) within the workplace, why it matters, the effect it can have, and the role we all can play.

It ties in genuine lived experiences to highlight the realities we oftentimes overlook without meaning, and provides insight into what we can do today to ensure everyone has a place in our ICN.

The session is delivered by Aaron Scott, Alistair Weston, Haitch Brackenbury and Paul Shanley.

Aaron is the Chair, and founder, of the North Northants LGBT+ Forum, and Project Coordinator within North Northants Adult Social Care.

Alistair is an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Engagement Officer with Northampton General Hospital, and Cultural Ambassador with the Royal College of Nursing.

Haitch is a SEND case worker within the Strengthening Families team within the Northamptonshire Children’s Trust.

Paul is a Commissioning Manager within the Northamptonshire Children’s Trust and member of their equality steering group.
