Census forms

I speak fluent Welsh but filled the form in English, it’s just easier.

However if the forms weren’t bilingual there would have been an uproar wouldn’t there.

Scotland's census is postponed to 2022 so we haven't had anything yet.

Here in Northern Ireland we were offered forms in Gaelic or Ulster Scots , but the one on the post is in English so would have to send for the others , less paper wasted
Having said that , I filled it in online, much easier , and the paper one went in the recycling

I don’t understand how/why you had paper forms as opposed to filling it in online?

I’ve just completed ours and did it in English although I ticked all four boxes on Welsh language.

In England, you had to request a paper copy. Was that the same in NI and Wales? I’m not sure how they could have sorted out sending just the requested language- sometimes it s actually cheaper to treat everyone the same -depends on the process but certainly some human input would have been needed.

I would have filled it in online but I thought as they'd sent the forms rather than waste them both I'd fill one in. Requesting a paper copy would have been a much better option and saved lots of money as well. I expect by the time the next census comes around it will all be online.

If I had wanted a paper form I would have had to request one.

We got paper forms here.

Did ours online too, I’d have been disappointed at the waste and cost with paper.

No paper forms in England ( unless you requested one, for instance if you had no devices for doing it online.) Better all round, especially with Covid to do it this way.

We're in Wales, everything official comes in Welsh first, English second, grannyrebel and yes, it was difficult to find the English on my Covid vaccine invitation.

However, we did the census online in English.

Didn’t get a choice, paper ones sent in post.

I wonder why?
