8. Acknowlegements

This guidance has been developed by Yacob Cajee, Equalities and Black Members' Officer, Devon County Branch of UNISON in consultation with Branch and Regional Self-Organised Groups as well as

• Devon County Council,
• Fair Play South West,
• the Intercom Trust,
• Devon Racial Equality Council,

• UK Youth Parliament Devon.

The guide owes much in terms of its conception and format to The Power of Language, produced by Greater Manchester Police, whilst the British Sociological Association provided some of the historical background and definitions.

The work of some of the universities in this area, particularly Brunel and Lancaster should also be acknowledged.

Thanks also go to Rose and Des Gander, Moira Macdonald and Marian Mann, without whose support this guide would never have been completed. Special thanks also to David Tonkin of Sussex Police.
