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 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All archives of messages are stored permanently and are available to the world wide web community at large at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/data-protection.html If you wish to leave this list please send the command leave data-protection to [log in to unmask] All user commands can be found at : - http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/commandref.htm Any queries about sending or receiving message please send to the list owner [log in to unmask] (all commands go to [log in to unmask] not the list please) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
