School vaccination form asking for ethnicity - not sure what to put?

[Overseasmom100]

Does this mean - white british, white asian etc?

DS has an English father and half indian and half english mother
Not sure what DS would be!

You can either put down whatever you/he identifies as, or put nothing.

Is it a tick box? What are the choices?

We always white other - it is ethnic origins not nationality.

My children are white other for ethnicity - English and Albanian but white British for nationality.

So it means his etnic background.

So white british means someone whos skin is what we call white and was born in britian and/or family are british

British asian is sone one of british and asian decent

Mine are the same ethnicity in the same proportions as your DC, I put white and Asian mixed.

And for medical forms don't put nothing/what they identify as, specify what their ethnicity is. Different ethnic groups have greater prevalence of certain conditions etc.

No tick box just a line with the heading Ethnicity for you to enter.
I remember doing this at Infants and it was flagged up due to my origin and he had the BCG jab. So I may British with some asian decent

explantion

I’m white european, and DH is Thai.
So our kids go down as “mixed white and Asian”.
They also had to have BCG when they were tiny babies even though DH hasn’t been to his home country in 13 years
