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.
