With this in mind, it's best to pick simple terminology which is easy to understand and recognise - this will also allow training of new staff & volunteers to be very quick and straight-forward, as the terms uses are all already familiar.
How?

Standards
All wording entered should start with a capital letter (eg. the start of a sentence or heading). Where required, we'll make words upper or lower-case for you depending on the context and where they'll be shown.
