Have you completed your Census 2021 form?

Haven’t had one as yet. Not sure how folk know they are going to be alive on the 21st especially in a pandemic. It is another 3wks away so anything could happen in that time.

cornishpatsy How on earth during a pandemic can you be sure nothing will change ?

Not yet
Tempting fate .....

I think it's wrong to suggest people fill them in now. The data is for the night of 21st March, and there may be all sorts of reasons why things may have changed by then. If you are in hospital for instance, you are entered there. How many people will even bother notifying them of changes?

It says that if you submit the form before March 21st, and things change in the meantime, just let them know. It doesn’t say exactly how.

Waiting until census day
21st March 2021.

Just incase one or either of pops our clogs before hand or an offspring plus family need to boomerang home for what ever reason.

Genuine question...
What happens if someone is taken into hospital or are in hospital on that date? 21/3/21
Are hospitals obliged to fill in a patient census?

Mine hasn`t arrived yet.

I states;
Please fill in the form on Sunday 21 March 2021, or as soon as you can afterwards. This is so we can count the whole population on the same day.
Those are the rules,

The accompanying guidance quite clearly states that you can complete the questionnaire before 21 March

'If you know who will be in your household on that day'

Done mine, nothing will change on or before the 21st for me.

Completed it yesterday after it arrived. I live alone , nobody will be staying with me on the 21st so thought I’d do it straight away so it was done. Agree some questions were strange and not sure of their relevance to be honest!

No, got the letter yesterday and will complete it online on census day.

We’ve just done ours. We were going to wait until the 21st, but there was an advert on tv last night that said we could complete it as soon as we got the letter.

Haven’ t had the letter yet with the link. I thought it was meant to be for 21 March?

Just completed it.

It also seemed obsessed with my education, which was over 60 years ago.

I don't think the education questions were for everyone. Not at home, so can't check form. I completed my part days ago, still waiting for OH....

Yes

Did mine this morning there were an awful lot of questions but it’s done now.

I'll fill in mine tomorrow when the circus is on

I haven’t had one to complete yet
I don’t remember the last one either riverwalk Was that online ?

The central heating question was strange, I thought.

There was a census when I was at Brownie camp in 1951. One or two of the girls had to phone home (not easy in the wilds of Derbyshire) to find out where they were born.

Yes- I did mine online the day it arrived. Some of the questions were strange.

Did ours the day it arrived too. I agree, some of the questions are rather strange but as for change of circumstances........don't think I will be un-retiring any time soon, nor will I be having anymore children??. So, it's done.

Likewise l did ours online the day that it arrived, DH was not best pleased by some of the questions it asked, and just replied that it was none of their business!

DD had to fill hers in for a family of 5, both her and her husband have Management level keyworker roles, they are a blended family, and the questions asked were lengthly and intrusive. It took her over two hours to complete it, again filled in online.

No. I haven't.
I feel we are guessing if we do this "early"
