What is the Census?The census is a survey which happens every 10 years and gives a picture of all the people andhouseholds in England and Wales. The next census takes place on Sunday 21st March 2021.

The information you give in the Census helps provide the best picture of the needs of everyone. Organisations suchas local authorities and charities use this picture to plan and fund the services we all need, including education,healthcare and transport. Without the census, it would be much more difficult to do this.

Every household should complete the census on Sunday 21st March and everyone should be included on a census atthe place where they live or are staying on that date. The census can be completed by the householder for allmembers of the household or they should ensure all household members complete their own.

Every household is required by law to complete the census and it is an offence not to complete it or to supply falseinformation, not all questions are compulsory.

The first census took place in 1841 and previous census records can be viewed online and can be used to trace familyhistory – find out more here.

Did you solve the puzzling pipes problem?

Get your teeth into numeracy at LPGS
