Podcast opening up discussions around race, ethnicity & the lived experiences of #SLT/#SLT2B’s from under-represented and misunderstood communities ☕️🌺
You might think this isn’t a speech and language therapy matter. It is - our clients and therapists are impacted by the emotional images seen on social media every day. From the stories of friends and families suffering and from feeling helpless miles away. #FreePalaestine
Why racism, Islamophobia, and xenophobia are SLT issues‼️
CSP condemns racist thuggery @IshmaelBeckford, chair of the CSP council, has condemned recent violence in several parts of the country targeting Muslim, Black and migrant communities and also the police. He said: 'CSP members live and work in many of the communities which have seen organised racist violence over recent days. We stand with these communities and with our members in the face of threats and attacks. We welcome the commitments made by the Government and police to tackle those organising this criminality.' 'Those behind these attacks on local communities are seeking to exploit and misattribute grievances around the decline of services such as the NHS, low pay and other genuine problems our society faces. Terrorising local communities does nothing to address these issues. Only by working together can we build a better future for all.'
@SLTeaTime @RCSLT Good to see but would be even better if they call it what it is - Islamophobia/anti-muslim hate. @theRCOT would be interested to know why this was left out?
