To support the third sector's commitment to inclusivity and equity, NCVO have created an Inclusive Language and Communications Guide, a practical tool developed for staff to support inclusive and accessible communication.
The guide is designed to:
-
Promote respect and inclusivity: Encourage the use of language that respects diverse communities and perspectives, ensuring everyone feels seen and valued
-
Address intersectional inequalities: Reflect the intersectional nature of inequalities, including those related to protected characteristics such as age, disability, sex, race, and sexual orientation
-
Support language evolution: Highlight how language evolves and the role it plays in challenging power structures and creating inclusive narratives
First developed for NCVO staff, the guide was completed in September 2024. It was shared internally to allow teams to explore its principles before making it available to the wider sector. But now, to support charities who are on similar journeys, they are sharing this guide as a resource to allow for charities to reflect on their own communication.
