Our new #GloriouslyOrdinaryLanguage website is live 🎉 It includes a video of @tricianicoll.bsky.social & me introducing ourselves & our language programme,& new course dates for Spring 2025. Exciting! And huge thanks to Rosina Sharrock for making it look gorgeous www.gloriouslyordinarylanguage.co.uk
A graphic by Dr Pen Mendonca illustrating five categories of hmmm words - blaming words like complex, hard to reach and non-complaint, silly words like accessing the community, sorting office words like signposting and screening, deceptive words like independence and prevention, and them and us words like client, service user and case. Below these words are some brilliant images of people living their gloriously ordinary lives, and everyday words like sister, boss, belonging and hope.
Would you use this language around your kitchen table?
Love this brilliant graphic by the fabulous @penmendonca.bsky.social, illustrating the 'five categories of hmmm words' @tricianicoll.bsky.social and I will be discussing in our #GloriouslyOrdinaryLanguage programme.
What words would you add?

“Really good & enjoyed it a lot. Feel real motivated to get some positive changes made”

Me & @tricianicoll.bsky.social are really looking forward to our first #GloriouslyOrdinaryLanguage session for councils on Friday, with Nottinghamshire, Oxfordshire, North Yorks & Hull Councils.
In session 1 we’ll focus on ‘purpose’ & how we communicate about what adult social care is all about.

Multiple cards with the word ‘service user’ written on them
Blaming words like vulnerable, challenging, didn’t engage, complex, refused…
‘Work’ words that make people go hmmm like respite, package of care, accessing the community and personal care
Here are some of the words that make people drawing on,& working in, social care go hmmm.
