Local census support centres will be open while the census is happening. Staff will offer help for people not confident online, who don’t have a computer or need help completing on paper.
The census is a once-in-a-decade survey that gives the most accurate estimate of all the people and households in England and Wales.
It has been carried out every decade since 1801, with the exception of 1941.
