Deciding what 'care experience' means: consultation - easy read

Easy read version of consultation seeking views on the need for a universal definition of ‘care experience’ and what the potential impacts of this could be.


Part 2: the words we use about care

The Promise tells us that language is important.

People should not use very formal language or professional words.

Many council areas have made language of care guidance and changed ways of working so that some words and phrases are not used.

There may be a way to make sure that all organisations across Scotland use the same words and phrases about care experience.
