One of Britain's wokest councils has told staff to call parents 'caregivers' instead of 'mum and dad' in a bizarre new inclusivity guide.
Merton Council, south London sent a 27-page inclusive language document round to employees encouraging them to change the words they use in the workplace.
The guide, obtained by The Sun, also tells workers to stop using the words 'young', 'old' or 'mature' to describe people, in a clampdown on ageism.
It's not just 'mum and dad' on the way out, with 'mother and father' also a no-no, according to the document.
The Labour-run council says it aims to reduce the chances of staff making assumptions about a child's biological parents.
