Ethnicity Codes

[SpeedFreak]

Why have I recieved 6 pages of ethnicity codes from my children's nursery, of which I am to select one that matches? Why is this requested? What is it used for? Does this help in reducing descrimination or improve outcomes?

I do need to register a complaint. They don't have Irish Chinese of Hong Kong Origin. We'll need a new code

Tick refused if it bothers you.

Not bothered particulary, I just think it is interesting that it is recorded and used. The government tells us that the NHS an education system need to modernise and become efficient yet enforce the circulation, collection and colation of documents like this. I am stuggling to see it's purpose but maybe I am missing something...

'Of which I am to select one that matches' is incorrect grammar.'

You've also misspelled 'received' and 'discrimination.'

It's not a board paper so I couldn't give a stuff pal, thanks for chipping in though.

Funny because services never seem to improve...

I guess if they were to use it to identify language issues then it would make some sense. The real question is if data from parents is better than observations from teachers/carers.
