GB News: Tour guides told not to say 'able-bodied' as it 'perpetuates harmful stereotypes'
Britain's tourism board, VisitBritain, has advised tour guides to replace "able-bodied" with "non-disabled" in an effort to eliminate harmful language regarding disabilities. The new guide suggests avoiding terms that perpetuate negative stereotypes, such as "suffers from" or "handicapped."
Critics, including Lord Young of the Free Speech Union, have expressed concern over the recommendations, questioning the practicality of such changes. The guidance reflects a broader trend among public bodies to revise language related to disabilities, with similar recommendations issued by the NHS and other organizations.
