What do we call them?
As part of the Gloriously Ordinary Language programme I run with Tricia Nicoll, we spend a full day focusing on the language we use to communicate with and about people. We begin these se…
Service users. Customers. Clients. Cases. People we Support (PwS). People who draw on social care.
Why is it so hard for us just to talk about people? We? Us?

Words that make me go hmmm: Signposting
“Signposting: “the act of telling someone which organization they need to go to to find the help they need.” Cambridge Dictionary [1] “‘Signposting’ indicates that the client will not be supported …
‘Signposting’ is about process and efficiency, not people and efficacy. If we really want to ‘transform’ social care, we need to focus connection, not redirection.

A pink book with the title ‘Rewriting social care: challenging and changing language and practice for a better, brighter future’ by Bryony Shannon.

Words that make me go hmmm: Pathway
“Pathways: Not sure. But modelled on Hampton Court Maze.” Mark Neary [1] In everyday life, pathways meander through parks or fields or forests, offering direction. A route towards a destinati…
Pathways belong in a world which says ‘this is what we do to people like you’. Where the labels we apply determine the course of our ‘interventions’, and the decisions we make are about you without you…

Such a powerful quote from the wonderful Mark Neary yesterday, about the fragility of your life when you or the people you love have social care needs. He said “we are always one new worker, one new decision from having our lives turned upside down”.
