English translation:

First, is there an Anglo-saxon equivalent of this body ? Whatever the case I would welcome suggestions as to how to render the notion of 'solidarité/autonomie' here.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: I think those are very specialised applications of the term// Agreed, good refs, but these are medical professionals writing for a specialist readership; the source domain is social services and the readership possibly general

: Very interesting refs provided by MC. The concept of autonomy is not, in my opinion, what the source text seems to be about. It is more about practical independence esp. enabling people to live in their own homes, do shopping etc.
