Helping you to prepare for Census 2021
Here at ONS we’re continuing to work on the deliver the 2021 Census as planned.
We are aware of the extraordinary demands the current situation is putting on local authorities, and like many of you, we’re working differently.
We continue to be guided by the evidence and latest advice from Government and medical experts and will keep you updated on any changes through these newsletters.
Recruitment Update
We are taking a phased approach to Census 2021 recruitment for field staff. Census engagement manager roles will be advertised from July. We will send you details to help us to promote these jobs. They will start in late September and be ready to work with you from October 2020. Community advisers will start work in November.
We will be contacting local authorities individually in the next month to let them know about the engagement staff that will be working in their areas. As a reminder, here is what those roles include:
Census Engagement Managers will work with the local authority and engage with community leaders to promote the benefit of the census and gain their support for it. They will develop a partnership working plan with the local authority that will contain details of agreed activities and support for the census operation.
Community Advisers will engage with specific communities that have been identified as needing extra support and encouragement to understand the benefit of the census to encourage completion of the census questionnaire.
