A Jargon Busting Dictionary for Social Care
Now Available
By Bridget Caffrey and Siobhan Maclean
£10
In 1926 the French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery famously said "Language is the source of most misunderstandings." That has never been more true in the field of social care.
This dictionary is designed to de-mystify the use of language in health and social care. Commonly used jargon is explained in straightforward terms. It will be an invaluable reference guide for all staff in social care, particularly those new to the field and those recruited from overseas.
The final section of the dictionary offers advice on appropriate language in terms of anti-oppressive practice.
The Dictionary also comes with a free "jargon busting" service. If a reader wants a definition of a word which does not appear in this version, they can contact us to receive a free definition by e-mail or post.
