Language is never just about words. Terminology carries cultural, social and historical meanings that can shape how people understand information, services and communities. I support organisations, professionals and community groups in reviewing and adapting terminology to ensure it is accurate, respectful and appropriate for the audience they are trying to reach. This may involve LGBTQIA+ terminology reviews, inclusive language guidance, content adaptation, tailored glossaries and terminology recommendations designed for specific projects or contexts.
Sometimes the challenge is not creating new content, but ensuring that existing materials are clear, accessible and meaningful for the people they are intended to serve. I review websites, guides, educational materials and other resources from both a linguistic and cultural perspective, identifying potential barriers and offering practical recommendations to improve accessibility, clarity and engagement. Services may include content review, linguistic review, accessibility audits and resource assessments.
I develop practical resources designed to support communication, understanding and access to information across different linguistic and cultural contexts. These may include guides, educational materials, multilingual resources, information leaflets, terminology tools and tailored materials created for organisations, professionals, community groups and specific audiences. Each resource is developed with careful attention to language, accessibility and cultural relevance.
