Today’s The Day! Census 2021

The census is a survey about all the households in England and Wales.  It is much more than just a record for the Government’s National Statisticians – it is creating a snapshot of our lives at this time, on this day – our history.  Anyone who has carried out historical research, will appreciate the importance of such details being recorded.

Everyone must complete the census and provide accurate information. It helps decide how services are funded in your area. There is a £1,000 fine for not completing the census but although today is the day – for those who haven’t or can’t complete the census by March 21st, they should ensure they do so “as soon as possible after”.

For the first time, this year’s census asks about your gender and gender identity – these new questions are voluntary and do not need to be answered.

2021 Census Officers Sought

The census only happens every 10 years and counts every person and household in England and Wales.  Thousands of people are being hired in a range of exciting temporary roles to make Census 2021 a success.

If you like being out in the community and talking to people, this is the role for you. You will be working alone but with the support of your team of up to 12 Census Officers and team leader. Knocking on doors, you’ll encourage residents to complete the census. This involves visiting different properties in an assigned area, sometimes several times, making return visits when necessary.

Census Officers contribute to the overall success of the census. The goal is to make people aware why the census is important and feedback information that keeps the address register up to date.
