Census 2011

March 27 2011 is Census Day.
Every 10 years since 1801 (except 1941) there has been a census.
There are approximately 200 paid jobs available working on the census in Enfield.
Jobs will be part-time or full-time and employment will be for various periods beginning in February and March 2011. Jobs include census co-ordinators, census collectors and special enumerators. Details can be found at the website censusjobs.co.uk (people who are  interested should keep checking the website, as more detailed job descriptions are added as they become available).
Information from the census enables national and local government to allocate resources and to plan public services – e.g. schools, housing, transport and healthcare. Everyone needs to take part to help Enfield and their community get its full share of resources.
Everyone who works on the census is obliged by law to keep every piece of individual information confidential. The information is used only to compile national and local population data. No individual’s details are ever made known to any outside source and the questionnaires remain confidential for 100 years.
