This publication is structured as a series of recommendations on how to improve EDI policies and practices within organizations that work with young people, in five dimensions: Governance / Leadership, Physical environment, Attitudes and Relationships, Community and Partnerships, Direct Work with Young People. It also contains examples of good practice and additional inspirational sources for further reading.

INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE GUIDELINES
These Guidelines were developed in response to frequent situations when we wonder if a word or phrase is (enough) inclusive and how not to exclude or “silence” someone with certain language choices. The document consists of a glossary, general guidelines for a more inclusive language, and recommendations on which expressions should be avoided/used in various language contexts.
