Abstract
This report is based on a research study commissioned as a direct response to recommendations made in the First Report of the Collaborative Forum of Former Residents of Mother and Baby Homes and related Institutions (hereafter the Collaborative Forum Report) and has also formed part of the Government¿s response to the Final Report of the Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Investigation. It relates specifically to the Collaborative Forum recommendations regarding Terminology and (Mis)representation. This project provides guidance for stakeholders, including the media, social workers, government, academia, education, religious orders, and others engaged with people directly affected by this history on language and terminology that is not appropriate or that should be addressed in a sensitive, collaborative and conscious manner.
