On 16 February we held a webinar for all local authorities who have signed up to help with our quality assurance of census estimates. This was well attended; thank you to everyone who was able to join us.
During this webinar, we shared information on what to expect, and responded to attendees' questions on a range of topics. Yesterday we sent out the remaining unanswered questions and answers.
We also announced that we would need a little more time to prepare the data to make sure that we send the best possible population estimates. We now intend to send the provisional data to nominated representatives, who have signed their non-disclosure agreement, on 4 April 2022. On 23 February, we sent a bulletin to all participating LAs and their nominated representatives to explain the changes. If you did not receive this bulletin please get in touch with our team at 2021Census.LA.Liaison@ons.gov.uk.
We’ve published an interactive tool to help citizens find out more about their local authority area and how it compares with others across the UK against a range of indicators.
This is a first iteration, and it covers a core set of indicators grouped in three broad categories: boosting living standards; spreading opportunity and improving public services; restoring local pride.
We hope this is a valuable resource for you, and most importantly citizens in your local area. We’re keen to get feedback so please do let us know.
We have designed the tool so it can be embedded easily on your own website – so you can put it in front of your citizens directly. We’ve written some step-by-step instructions on how to do that but if you need some direct help please do contact digitalcontent@ons.gov.uk
Last month we told you about the release of 1921 Census information. These records tell us so much about the lives of people living in England and Wales just after the First World War and the influenza pandemic. This is the last release of census household returns for 30 years because a fire destroyed the 1931 census and the Second World War prevented the 1941 census.
Historic census records from 1841 to 1921 can be accessed through The National Archives website. Visit the Past censuses in England and Wales page of our website for further information and links.
From the Mental Health Foundation to the Snowdonia National Park Authority, we have a selection of Census stories on our website. Have a look at how different organisations make use of our census information.
