    I am not entirely sure whether you are legally obliged to provide ANY information about race - only about nationality. Many ethnic monitoring surveys include a sentence to say that completion is voluntary.
    Ethnic monitoring surveys are designed to monitor the ethicity of a company, or a service to ensure that a mix of people are employed, or receive the services. It does not form an integral part of a job application, or a request for a service.
    For example, I never complete the ethnic monitoring surveys at my local hospital, as i would rather receive the treatment that I need rather than the treatment that is appropriate for someone of my ethnic background.
