I am a council employee and there is a note on our intranet asking if we want to help.

Their names; yes.
Instead of person 1, 2 etc.

They need to make sure there are no duplicates - a householder may fill out the form for everyone in the house, but others living there might also fill it in as individuals

I see; that makes sense.
There being no other fool-proof means of checking for any duplication at any one household like DoB?

People might share DoBs

tbf, people might share names.

I would think that allowing (online) census returns over a 3 week period might produce more duplication, tbh.
If respondents accurately recorded the household on one day why should anonymised data produce more duplication?

Because people wouldn’t all respond on the same day. And they’d likely go ‘oh I missed the day, sod it then’
brogdale

Maybe.
So a return with false names would yield all the data that users demand and, for anyone unwilling to enter their name into a state database, could avoid a fine for non-completion?

You would be eligible for a fine as you were providing untrue information. There are umpteen checks that can be carried out, as I believe the ONS have access to other info (HMRC, DWP etc) that they can double check against. There is always a double check on submitted details for random postcodes (a fairly standard procedure).

In 2011 were there any convictions for false data?

Questions 49 asks if you mainly work at home or at an office and 50 for the office address if applicable. The problem is yes recently in the weeks since the new year i have mainly worked at home but normally i work in an office and i expect to return to office working in the next few months. Considering it's done every 10 years they don't seem to have allowed for the fact that home working is just temporary for many people.

Reckon Mary and Robert Smith might be over-represented.

I think the job address/car stuff is to do with public transport planning (bus routes etc).

now you've got me, idk. Was vaguely thinking nhs capacity planning, or what 3 things would make your life better, are you lonely, do you have any plans to reproduce, do you hope to emigrate, that sort of thing. Stuff i'd be interested in looking at the results from millions of people's input.
But I suppose if it was anonymous you could ask those things, questions about mental health, fears and priorities, how much you drink, that sort of thing, but its very not anonymous so that wouldn't actually work.
