The census will take place on 21st March 2021 and should be completed by each household as close to that day as possible.
A census is held every 10 years in the UK and is used by organisations such as local authorities and charities to plan the resources they will need to help the communities they serve.
You must complete the census by law. It should be completed on Sunday, 21st March 2021 but can be completed before if necessary. If you can’t complete it by 21st March, you should complete it as soon as possible afterwards.
More information is available on the Government census website.
