Inclusive Language Guide (New & Curious)
Understanding how to use inclusive language when talking about EDI can help you engage in conversations with confidence and increase your awareness and understanding.
During the development of this toolkit, leaders in research reported their concerns about using the “wrong” language when discussing EDI topics. Many people find it difficult to find the words to engage in conversations, either because they are unaware of the terms or because they worry that they will accidentally offend someone or say something that is unintentionally rude.
Language is always evolving, and it is important to be mindful of any trends. Language can also be individualised – what one person finds acceptable; another may find inappropriate in certain contexts.
