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.
