The way you write things on our file will make a difference to the way the people reading about me will feel. Talk about the good things as well as the other things you have to write.
When writing a Life and Memory Book or a Later Life Letter with us or for us, use language that we understand and be kind and respectful.
If you are writing about me, write to me if you can. It makes it more personal.
Use the actual words that I say, not what you think I mean.
Instead of using words like ‘mum’ or ‘social worker’ use names if you can, it helps us to understand the people that have been in our life.
