In this 'Commission Conversation' Geoff Barton, Chair of the Commission on the Future of Oracy Education in England, talks to Warda Farah about racial and cultural bias in speech and language therapy,  her own experiences of linguicism at school and why it is powerful to teach children and young people about standard language ideologies. 

Warda Farah is a speech and language therapist and community activist, as well as a lecturer at Greenwich University. She previously founded a specialised speech and language practice that trained clinicians and served schools in the UK in evidence-based, culturally/linguistically diverse therapy.
