** While UWE Bristol has moved away from the use of 'Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME)', the term will continue to be used in data reporting where necessary, to ensure consistency and clarity in statistical analyses. We acknowledge that past reports and documents may include alternative terminology, and these will remain unchanged for historical accuracy. Where possible we disaggregate ethnicity data to help us identify issues that specific ethnic groups may be experiencing.
