The Care and Support 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, representatives from local authorities, information providers and key stakeholders from across the social care sector.
The Care and Support Jargon Buster won a Plain English Campaign Award in 2013.
