Getting started : Completing the census for someone else

If someone can’t complete their own census, someone they trust, like a family member or friend, can complete it for them.

If you are completing the census for someone else, you will need their paper form, or the access code from the letter we sent them.

You can download or order guidance in accessible formats, including Braille, British Sign Language (BSL) and easy read.

To request a census in a different format or for further help, contact us.

How to help someone else

The following guidance is available:

• Helping someone who has asked for help
• Helping someone who lacks the capacity to answer for themselves
