   Should you use 'disabled people' in your communications?

   • Don’t automatically refer to ‘disabled people’ in all communications – many people who need disability benefits and services don’t identify with this term. Consider using ‘people with health conditions or impairments’ if it seems more appropriate. Avoid phrases like ‘suffers from’ which suggest discomfort, constant pain and a sense of hopelessness.

   Can a deaf person be called a 'disabled person'?

   • The word ‘disabled’ is a description not a group of people. Use ‘disabled people’ not ‘the disabled’ as the collective term. However, many deaf people whose first language is BSL consider themselves part of ‘the deaf community’ – they may describe themselves as ‘Deaf’, with a capital D, to emphasise their deaf identity. Avoid medical labels.
