How to fill in your questionnaire
A short clip about the census and how to fill in your questionnaire.
Important guidance - before you start
Who should fill in the census Household Questionnaire?
The householder or joint householder is responsible for filling in the questionnaire for their household.
The householder or joint householder is the person who lives, or is present at the address who:
- owns or rents (or jointly owns or rents) the accommodation; and/or
- is responsible for paying the household bills and expenses.
A household is:
- one person living alone; or
- a group of people (not necessarily related) living at the same address who share cooking facilities and share a living room or sitting room or dining area.
Will you need extra questionnaires?
If there are more than five people in the household, either fill in the questionnaire online for the whole household (if your questionnaire has an Internet Questionnaire Access Code printed on the front page) or fill in the paper questionnaire and ask us for a Continuation Questionnaire.
If any member of the household aged 16 or over does not want to reveal their information to others in the household, an Individual Questionnaire with an envelope can be provided. These people should still be included in household questions H1 to H13 on the Household Questionnaire, but the individual questions 1 to 38 should be left blank for them.
If there is more than one household at this address, you need to ask for one or more extra Household Questionnaires.
You can Contact us to ask for extra questionnaires.
