In this episode, your hosts, Luke Rodgers BEM, Karylle Phillips and Dave Linton, engage in a thought-provoking discussion titled "Redefining Narratives: Why Changing Words Won't Change Worlds."
Language plays a crucial role in how we perceive and interact with the world, especially when it comes to children in care and care leavers. The episode explores the significance of language in the context of trauma-informed practice, emphasising that it's not just about being politically correct; it's about ensuring that young people and adults understand each other effectively.
Luke shares a personal story from his childhood in care, highlighting how the choice of words can have unintended consequences on a child's perception and emotional well-being. He vividly describes how a seemingly harmless phrase led to a completely different interpretation, demonstrating the need for clear and empathetic communication.
Dave Linton chimes in with his perspective, explaining that while changing language is a step in the right direction, it's not the sole solution to changing outcomes for care-experienced individuals. He challenges the common belief that altering terminology is the key to transforming attitudes and practices.
Tune in as our hosts explore the complexities of language and its impact on the lives of those in care, shedding light on the broader issues surrounding the care system. Discover why it's essential to move beyond surface-level changes in language and work toward shifting perceptions and dismantling stereotypes.
If you're a social worker, teacher, therapist, or simply someone interested in understanding and improving the lives of children in care, this episode is a must-listen.
Join us on "In Conversation With" as we navigate the intricate web of language, perceptions, and experiences that matter for children in care, care leavers, and those with a social worker. Together, we aim to create a more empathetic and inclusive community
