ABLE-BODIED Do not use this. Use non-disabled.
BAME Do not use this. Use Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic. For any subsequent references on the same page use 'ethnic minority' or 'ethnic minority communities'.
BREXIT Brexit has happened. Use transition period to refer to the time between 1 February and 31 December 2020.
HIDDEN DISABILITY Do not use this. Use invisible impairment.
PEOPLE WITH A DISABILITY OR PERSON WITH A DISABILITY Do not use. In most contexts use disabled people or disabled person. If your context means that you are referring to people with impairments then use impairments. For example 'people with impairments are disabled by barriers in society'.
PROFORMA Do not use proforma - say what it is in plain English: a template or form, for example. Be specific about what to do with it.
SPECIAL NEEDS Do not use. Use additional learning needs or access requirements, depending on context.
UK GOVERNMENT [Use this]. Never HM Government.
VULNERABLE Do not use to refer to disabled people. Anyone can become vulnerable for different reasons at different times in their lives. Disabled people are often described as vulnerable and this is often wrong and does nothing to promote equality.
WELSH ASSEMBLY The 2 organisations are the Welsh Government and Welsh Parliament.
