Language that cares
Based on research and findings from organisations that originally contributed to the 'TACT Language That Cares Report', the Polaris Community has conducted a consultation to ascertain the feelings and suggestions of our young people on the subject and the words they commonly hear.
Based on research and findings from organisations that originally contributed to the 'TACT Language That Cares Report', the Polaris Community has conducted a consultation to ascertain the feelings and suggestions of our young people on the subject and the words they commonly hear whilst in care, the meaning of those words and which they feel we should and should not use. In consultation with young people, Polaris has produced our own 'SPEAKING Charter'.
This is the Polaris commitment to the Language that we use but also how we speak about children. As we review policies and procedures our use of Language will be amended to reflect our children's thoughts and wishes.
