چکیده
The UK boasts a culturally diverse population with ethnic minorities accounting for 14% of the population in the 2011 census. [1]This represented an increase in the percentage of ethnic members of the population which was around 9% in 2001 and 6% in 1991. Caution is needed when making direct comparisons between censuses as there have been changes in questions and tick boxes which encourage the recognition of diversity. However, there is no doubt that the 'mix' is changing. In the 2011 census, the largest ethnic minority box ticked was Indian, followed by Pakistani, Black African and Other Asian.
