New census 2021 form

[Bee]

I received a paper copy yesterday, but it also has a code so I can fill it online, think I'll stick with the paper version.

And you are confident the internet ("the enumerator") you say, is qualified to undertake the task? Can you recollect what happened when a not too distant past census was handed to a company who enlisted prisoners to transcribe some of it. A well established faux pas recorded many prison warders and police officers were given an extremely derogatory term under their 'occupation'! As a result online researching was temporarily suspended as the census website "had (allegedly) crashed under the strain" 
I, personally, have received no information who is specifically named as in charge of the 2021 effort.

Well, let's hope it's not the Track & Trace lady.

Completed my census form today - would be interested to hear what folks are thinking about the questions asked and would this census be helpful in the distant future for people searching their family history.

Follow the 'Don't have a code'  route.

Copper1: I suppose the Enumerator this year is Leidos who hold the contract to "do" the census for the UK this time around.

I have now received my letter!  I asked for a paper form in accordance with the notice I got first. The questionnaire came first!! 

Both addressed to the Householder - and with totally different reference numbers!
