There is still time to do your census

If you’ve haven’t completed your census questionnaire yet, please do it as soon as possible.

You simply need to provide the information about who was living or staying at your household on Sunday 21st March.

Census field officers will soon start visiting households who have not completed a census questionnaire to ensure that everyone can fulfil their legal obligation to complete the census. They will be equipped with PPE, follow social distancing and COVID-safe guidelines, and will never need to enter anyone’s home.

The Office for National Statistics will never share personal details and no-one, including government bodies, will be able to identify you in census statistics. Personal census records will be kept secure for 100 years. If you do not complete the census, you may have to pay a fine of up to £1,000.
