2021 U.K. Census goes on-line!
Every ten years for the last 200 years or so, a census has been completed of the entire UK population. This year it was to be completed on the 21st March 2021, to be done by every household and to include all the people resident in the U.K. as of that date.
It is a criminal offence not to complete it but they do give you a few days grace if you have forgotten to do it. This year, paper forms that needed to be sent in have been abandoned and it is all on-line although you can request an official to help you or a paper form if no access to the internet is used.
I have just completed ours, for the two of us and it took under 15mins to finish and send off the completed questionnaire. Then the experts and statisticians will pore over countless millions of bits of information for years to come!
