Lots of candidates for various social care qualifications find
this a useful publication - it provides 'just enough' information on key
theories, legislation and the generic knowledge base for many
qualifications. Specifically contextualised for Scottish readers this will be an invaluable
book for anyone working on an SVQ.
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 is 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.
