Interesting, the London Development Agency and all related bodies use the acronym BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic groups)!

We had the same question around BME or BAME and our local racial equality council prefer BME – Black and minority ethnic – I think!

 

 

 

Hello

 

Can anyone help please I asked recently whether we should use BME or BAME and the consensus was BME.

 

I now have a further request. I remember reading ages ago that when writing BME in full I should write it as Black and minority ethnic communities, with the Black having a capital B to represent all the various communities who identify as being Black. I now can’t find where I got that from. Does anyone have a written/published definition written anywhere so I can share it with my communications team.

 

Thanks

 

Claire
