Examining the language that we use as a society and gain confidence as individuals around preferred language.
Attendees will then be invited to take part in 4 group conversations on each topic to provide an opportunity increase understanding of each other, examine the language we use and gain confidence around preferred language.
The second part of the event will see Police Scotland deliver a practical session on how to deal with discriminatory behaviour when we experience it or witness it as a bystander.
