2011 Census questionnaire content
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has enagaged in a programme of question development and testing to identify and finalise the content for the 2011 Census questionnaire.
New questions have been developed for topics where there is a new demand for information, and existing questions have been redeveloped to account for increasing or changing user requirements.
A key part of this development programme was the 2007 Census Test, where some newly developed questions were used on a large scale for the first time. An evaluation of the test questionnaire is available to download in the 2007 Test section, together with the actual questionnaires used.
A 2009 Census Rehearsal will take place on 11 October 2009 in three local authorities. Questionnaires that will be used in the Rehearsal have been finalised and are available to download.
More information and downloads about specific aspects of the recommended content and questions that should be included on the 2011 questionnaire are also being made available as they are completed.
