Progressive thinking about inclusive content combined with a review of our content design tools prompted us to look at the effectiveness of our Inclusive Language Guide. Before we could think about improving the guide, however, we needed to ensure staff knew it existed.

It’s my last week at the University of Edinburgh, a quiet time to reflect.

In June 2022, I attended the UCD Gathering conference, where inclusiveness was an outstanding theme.

The University of Edinburgh Inclusive Language Guide has now been published. The guide focuses on editorial guidance that avoids bias and conveys respect.
