This is a book about language, and how the words we hear, read and choose to use both expose and perpetuate attitudes and behaviours. It's about the words that are too dominant in our narrative and practice, and the words that should dominate.
It's also a book about change. Changing how we communicate about people. Changing how we understand and articulate the purpose of social care. Changing how we practice. And ultimately changing the story of social care.
And mainly it's a book about being human. About recognising each other as equal, valued human beings, and about creating a more human, humane future for us all.
Bryony Shannon has worked in local authorities in information, communications and practice development roles in adult social care for almost 20 years. She started her Rewriting Social Care blog after becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the language used with and about older people and disabled people, about people's relationship with services, and about the purpose and practice of adult social care. She wanted to expose what this language reveals and perpetuates about attitudes and behaviours and explore an alternative language that should be at the heart of more human, relational ways of working. Bryony now works freelance with several organisations, including Social Care Future and Think Local Act Personal (TLAP), focusing on narrative, language and practice change in social work and social care.
