  A new language guide instructs councils in England and Wales to avoid calling parents "mother" or "father" in an attempt to not not offend small numbers of people. Instead of referring to parents' gender, the Local Government Association's guide advises staff to use the term "birthing parent". Other banned terms in the 18-page document include "expat", "second generation", "the homeless", "lifestyle choice", "economic migrant" and deprived neighbourhoods". The guide suggests opting for "welcome everyone" at public events rather han "welcome ladies and gentlemen", adding: "People who are not 'ladies' or gentlemen' may recognise the difference, feel included and that they belong." The ruling was emailed to 339 English and 22 Welsh councils by the LGA's hief executive Mark Lloyd CBE, the Sun reports. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/uk/mum-an...guide-for-cou/ Last edited by Crimson Dynamo; 07-10-2022 at 04:55 PM. |
