This help guide will take you through Ethnic Origin code table management.

Introduction

The Ethnic Origin code table should be reviewed and updated so that all employee ethnic origins can be captured. This will enable you to accurately report and monitor your equality and diversity information.

Note: For consistency and accuracy it is advised that the Ethnic Origin code table reflects the definitions that can be found on the government or Office of National Statistics websites.
