The British Red Cross charity has said it has major concerns over the use of facilities like the controversial Penally camp in west Wales to home asylum seekers.
“Able-bodied” is an offensive term to describe non-disabled people, a charity has said.
A list of appropriate and inappropriate terms for those with disabilities has been released by Leonard Cheshire, adding that the language used is “vital”.
The charity, set up in 1948 by RAF group captain Leonard Cheshire, said that people should say “non-disabled” rather than “able-bodied.”
The term able-bodied is seen by some people in the disabled community as implying that all people with disabilities do not have able bodies .
“Blind” should also be avoided, according to their list, with people urged to use “person with visual impairment” instead.
