Thank you for further slimming down the 350 pages into a witty and succinct piece. I'm not a judge of course, for which I am eternally grateful, but a student and teacher of English. Who'da thought that judges could be treated with so much disdain, like naughty Victorian children to be dictated to?
Anyone missing the good old days can watch Til Dearh Us Do Part most nights on TV.
Many thanks to Joshua for featuring this important guidance, where - rather than there being any claim that it can or should even profess to be the last word- nonetheless demonstrates and reminds us all that all languages and descriptions are by way of being living organisms. Changes generated by a genuine wish to understand and communicate with each other with empathy and respect should always be welcomed. What continues to trouble me- as a deafened former advocate- and my wife Doctor Yvonne Fowler are questions to do with the need for an invariably equal respect being paid to all those needing to communicate via an interpreter by reason of having no or an insufficient grasp of English. It is important to add that many of those requiring, therefore, the services of a fully or adequately accredited and independent interpreter may have a command already of quite a number of languages other than English. We should approach the task of ensuring for them a level playing field in all communications with an inclusive frame of mind and in a spirit of humility. The ONLY safe way of securing such an interpreter’s services is via the National Register of Public Service Interpreters, where a reference to it is FREE OF CHARGE and where in my firm contention GOOD professional practice is to be found in engaging an interpreter’s services through that source. For sign language interpreters there is their equivalent body. Yvonne and I have been attending meetings and arguing to that effect for several decades.
Galo v Bombardier Aerospace UK (2016) NICA 25, is an example of significant failure by Northern Ireland's Industrial Tribunal and Fair Employment Tribunal to even recognise the ETBB's existence yet alone use it. I can confirm that as of my case in 2022, the NI ITFET, still failed to acknowledge its existence and to use it as reference.
It means nothing in Northern Ireland. All part of my battle.

Joshua, what, according to this guidance is my ethnicity?! I am an English Gospel-believing Christian i.e. evangelical?
The court's starting point would be to describe you in the way you would wish.
