Census 2021

It was never gratuitous.
On that, we'll just have to agree to disagree, I'm afraid.
Nonetheless, it is very decent of you to concede that you have been abusive in this thread.
Nice to see the rancour fall away as the thread reaches a natural ending.
 
So, you are still insulting thousands of workers as ‘goons’ then?
Honestly have no idea how many field staff recruited and 'specially trained' by Adecco to conduct formal interviews under caution as required by the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) there are. Do you?

No. But I do know that none of them are employed yet, there are still adverts for that job up. So are you withdrawing the 'goons' insult in regard to those who are currently politely knocking on doors?

No you're wrong about that.
None of the roles still open for application include the special training required to interview under caution.
Those role must already have been recruited and filled.
 
Ok, I’m wrong they’re still being advertised, but they’re still not working. They’re called something like enforcement officers.

So are you going to withdraw your slur?

Calling the specially trained field staff that conduct formal interviews under caution as required by the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) "goons"?
Nah.

Nah.
You’re avoiding the point again.

The people currently knocking on doors do not have those powers. So you’ll be apologising to them, no?
 
I think you forget everyone can remember back as far as post 1137
Really not sure what you're on about, tbh.
In 1137 I asked if Any objectors been knocked up by the 'goons' yet?
If I'd wanted to know whether anyone had been knocked up by the non-goon, good cop officers I'd have said so.
 
Had a reminder today and thought fuck it might as well fill it in (after researching online if the likes of Crapita, UK govs most official busy body has access to the data and no they don't - not officially anyway but being drug addled and paranoid I gave them my spanish first name just in case)

Posty appeared to be recording the reminder as delivered so I suspect "the goons" might be less forgiving to non compliant households this time around.
 
Reminders don't come from posties, they come from census officers whose job it is to write down where they leave reminders etc (same as every time, but more techy this year)

I must have been hallucinating the postman delivering a reminder this morning then and logging something on his hand held device. Haz I been scammed by the postman? 🤔

I am surprised it would be done by a postie, unless you live somewhere weird, the rest sounds normal (I suspect the handheld device is a phone)
 
Apologies if this has already been covered - I've only just found the thread (39 pages of which is a bit daunting to read before posting) and only just noticed that the census is happening nowish.

Just completed it online. There was a single access code for my household, a house share of many people who haven't chosen each other, meaning we all rent our rooms from the landlord independently, via his letting agency.

I've just seen that I can view all of the information entered by everyone else in the house. This doesn't seem right.

We are a technical household in that we share a kitchen, living room, and bathrooms, but we're not family or partners.

I am nosey, but don't think I should be able to indulge it in this case!
 
Individuals can get individual codes which overwrites anything input by someone else and cant be seen by anyone else.
 
It certainly wasn't.

Mation I filled in my section of the questionnaire, added the names of my two lodgers and gave mobile numbers for them to get sent their own access code.

It's really shortsighted that they don't make this clear as I think a lot of house sharers will be missed off.

That's good, but how would anyone know it's possible?

I only saw the single letter for our address pinned up in the kitchen. I imagine that some of my myriad housemates who have completed the census would have wanted an individual code, if it was clear that they could have one.

I would have.

I guess the main one-sheet letter is optimised for the most common kind of households, and if there was too much detailed information on it about less common types of household it would just be overwhelming for lots of people to take in and more likely to get binned. The info about getting filling forms in seperately was in the little "what you need to know" pamphlet that camein the envelope with the letter.

It is a balance, i guess there isn't really an ideal one-size-fits-all letter, all households are different. at least any of the reminder staff should be trained to be able to direct you to the right information.

Well, here we go. I'm surprised that the unrelated adults figure is so low. Although now we have seen how the data is collected.....

depends what they mean by (or what people have thought they meant by) 'households' - in benefits terms, a 'household' is people who live as one family unit (i.e. sharing finances and shopping and so on) - people who share a property aren't necessarily a 'household'

Those figures sound about right to me, at least for the area I've been doing, and I have actually been knocking on doors to ask! It would be different in eg student areas of course, not sure how well information on those could ever be captured though as they are so transitory.
