Dear Moderator :)

As I'm fairly new here I was wondering if this may be of any use ??

I was sifting thru' various Government bumph on the Web today and found this........


In paragraph 7.4 of the explanatory note we set out draft definitions
for these as follows:
- Reliably means to a reasonable standard.
- In a timely fashion means in less than twice the time it would take for
an individual without any impairment.
- Repeatedly means completed as often during the day as the
individual activity requires. Consideration needs to be given to the
cumulative effects of symptoms such as pain and fatigue – i.e.
whether completing the activity adversely affects the individual’s
ability to subsequently complete other activities.
- Safely means in a fashion that is unlikely to cause harm to the
individual, either directly or through vulnerability to the actions of
others; or to another person.

Please accept my apologies if this link is already up and running....there's some useful descriptors on there!

Apologies too for my overzealous postings sometimes!.....I'm afraid I've turned a tad cynical with various Government bodies as I get older.....I do know a Mod has a difficult task, but thanks to all the Mods on here (without being patronising)

regards gerry.......obviously amend as necessary
