Hertfordshire's Shared Language Guide

There are many specific words and acronyms used throughout the CYPMHS system. Whilst we should all try to simplify our language and avoid using professional jargon when we can, we have developed a guide to make it easier for everyone to understand.

This shared language document incorporates definitions taken from the HPFT CAMHS Jargon Buster and the Mind Glossary and some local and national resources.

If you think a definition needs to be amended or removed, or a new definition added, please contact us: hertshub.resources@hertfordshire.gov.uk.
