Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) the organisation working to transform health and care, have produced a useful Care and Support Jargon Buster.
The jargon buster is a plain English guide to the most commonly used health and social care words and phrases and what they mean.
The definitions are plain English rather than legal, and were developed and tested by a steering group that included people who use services, carers and other representatives from across the social care sector.
