Hi

 

Appreciate you replying! 



 This is a really rough first draft so it will need a lot of tweaking and firming up in the language department. Many apologies.



I will put together a generic email for the various BPA's to see if the can help, that is a good idea.

 

I want to be consistent language wise but it is a mine field.  I am mixed race of Asian descent on my Dad's side.  I also grew up in the Caribbean, I call myself Black but I often get flak for that from various people! 

 

What does everyone think should be the best terminology to use in this project I am doing so it is consistent but takes into account diversity?  For example I would like to find out, if possible and where it is applicable who was the first Chinese, Gypsy/Roma, Jewish, Muslim, Police Officers in the UK.  A tall order I suspect.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Regards

 

Suchi

Hi Suchi

 

Have you considered contacting the various Black Police Associations for help?  e.g. the Met and Merseyside ones.  (The Met one is on twitter so put a call out there).  Check out the back of the full report 'The Stephen Lawrence Inquiry: 10 Years On' (available via a Google search or on Runnymede's website) for various officers from Black & minority ethnic backgrounds although I'm not certain when each of them took up office.  (Incidentally, the attached document seems to switch, indiscriminately, between 'BME', Black and Asian.  e.g. Mike Fuller as a 'BME officer'. Terminology is always contested but could you at least use BME in full and call Black people Black or Black Caribbean, South Asian heritage etc where applicable/known).

 

Kind regards

 

 

Nicola
