Learning a new language - Social Services Speak

Now we are in the Social Services system, through fostering, there are meetings to attend. At these meetings there is a language to learn with unfamiliar words. As in any profession, there are words, code words, abbreviations and strange things to say. The medical profession is well known for its unique language. I have learnt new words like: LAC (Looked After Child), CAMHS (Child Adult Mental Health Services), PIP (Personal Independent Plan), PEP (Personal Education Plan), IRO (Independent Review Officer) and HELP!
