Guidance on how to write about ethnicity clearly, accurately and respectfully.
Only refer to ethnicity when it is relevant.
Be as specific as possible and refer to ethnic groups individually rather than grouping different communities together.
Where it is necessary to refer to multiple ethnic groups collectively, use "ethnic minorities”. Do not use BAME (Black, Asian and minority ethnic) or BME (Black and minority ethnic)
