Content

More Than Words: Communication for All is a campaign led by the Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland (the ALLIANCE). Communication connects us, but we all communicate differently. Good, inclusive communication matters to everyone. It helps us live well and take part in our communities.

Most of us will need communication support at some point in our lives. However, because there is a lack of good communication support, people often have problems accessing education, work education, health and social care services, and community life.

This webinar covers what inclusive communication is, drawing on lived experience examples. It also covers why changes to legislation are needed to ensure the right to equal access to healthcare, education and public services.
