A "face to face, in person" option for engaging with services is essential for people who experience communication disadvantage. Community link workers facilitate communication inclusion and equality. It's sad to read this article - lnkd.in/eXd4AmUv

British Sign Language GCSE : "I studied British Sign Language (BSL) for years to qualify as an interpreter. If a GCSE had been available, I would have been able to learn much earlier and interact with the deaf community much sooner." BSL interpreter.

People who communicate in different ways tell powerful stories that would be hard to pop in a survey. They can tell us things quantitative research doesn't never asks - see communicationinclusionpeople…

2 ways of knowing: 1 studies 2. Stories. Most studies lead to more data; stories are the seeds of social change. Cold data is mostly devoid of meaningful stories abt specific communities. In contrast, warm data (cf @NoraBateson) seeks to reveal local meaning. No data w/o stories.

On #EmployabilityDay2023, we are sharing some great examples of how #EnableWorks supports people to overcome a range of barriers to the workplace through #employability support; people like Thomas: enable.org.uk/our-impact/tho… #EmpDay23 #WorkingForBetterWork
We teamed up with Public Health Scotland to support them to make their recruitment process more inclusive and accessible. Young people like Thomas felt encouraged to apply and were able to demonstrate their skills in an inclusive interview. Thomas was welcomed into the PHS team as a Modern Apprentice. PHS successfully reached a wider talent pool and increased diversity of their workforce!

How about to get a broadcast license a company had to ensure all programs aired were communication inclusive of the whole community of people who communicate in different ways?
