Dear All

We are examining methods of checking that accessibility of services can be
properly representative of users in terms of ethnicity.  To do so we may
decide to record ethnicity when someone registers on our faq system.  I am
very uncomfortable about this for obvious reasons in terms of DPA and
Schedule 3.  What is proposed is that recording ethnicity is made
mandatory as part of the FAQ registration, so no ethnicity, no
registration.  I need support to drive my concerns forward.

My question is - Am I barking or am I on the button?  any views much
appreciated
