Explaining the who,what,why,where,when of Census 2011

The census means different things to different people. Genealogists use previous census returns for researching family history. Academics use census population estimates for predicting trends, local authorities for planning policy, businesses for product development and store locations, and central government to help share out funding. It’s all about planning ahead. The census, a rich source of statistics, affects all of us in one way or another, as decisions about the communities we live in take place all the time. The census creates a population map that feeds those decisions.
Under the Census Act 1920, it is an offence to refuse to make a census return. There is lots of help available to complete the census. Prosecution is the last resort. The few who do not complete their questionnaire may be fined up to £1,000.
You need to take part so that the services and facilities your community / family uses can be identified. These services include schools, hospitals and emergency services
If you have access to the internet by March 2011 you will be able to complete the census online.
