Furthermore... how can HERs carry on with the Historic Environment Records: Benchmarks for Good Practice - Consultation Paper, when the word 'benchmark' is now banned?

Among words and phrases now banned are:
....Benchmarking ....
knew they'd get out of the pay benchmarking somehow

Maybe you could use 'comparison' instead.

How about just replacing
"in partnership" simply with "with"
"community heritage engagement" project with "local archaeological project"
"community engagement" with "participation"?
Can we ban "Historic Environment Professional" as well while we are at it?

Banning words and phrases? when people start being told what they can and cannot say then we are on a very slippery slope!!

hope noone thought my suggestions were serious
the best thing is to just get on with it. if its the most appropriate word for the situation then there shouldn't be a problem.
Besides, someone will always take issue no matter how carefully you phrase things. Tis the way of things.

For me 'in partnership' stays as it implies that both parties are of equal standing in the project.
'community heritage engagement' also stays as not all heritage projects are archaeological
and if 'Historic Environment Professional' goes then so does my job as an Historic Environment Assistant.
Sometimes, there's a tendency by some to assume that heritage is nothing but archaeology, for some of us archaeology is only part of our job description and Historic Environment Professional is a better, much more descriptive,label to hang on us than one which only describes a fraction of what we do.
So - no to all those suggestions.
