'Looked After Children' no more

My wife is a Social Worker and she told me last night that 'Looked After Children' are now to be known as 'Children that are Looked After' ...

'Looked After Children'
'Children that are Looked After'
'Looked After Children'
'Children that are Looked After'

??

Do they really believe it will make any difference?

Of course I'm sure there will be a cost associated with the change.

That is clearly ridiculous. I think the phrase you are reaching for is "wtf?"

Aside from anything else, shouldn't it be "children WHO are looked after"?

Who is responsible for this stupidity, I wonder?
