This codelist has categories that were created in a somewhat ad-hoc manner in April 2020, to meet our needs at the time. They are not based on any particular category standard (such as 2001 or 2011 census). We should add the mappings to the About page, and make clear that these are different to the 2001 census mappings e.g. in #229.
We should also warn that they shouldn't really be combined with SUS ethnicity, as the categories don't align perfectly.
