I've been "INVITED" to take part in a census test. I do not want to participate. When theres a census I will fill it in. Why do they need to test it? I have took part before without a test. Who are they testing, the census people or the public? You keep sending letters and knocking on the door like its compulsory to part with all my details at tea-time. I don't give details to strangers on the doorstep. Please GO AWAY. Either its an invite, or compulsory .... Anyway, it will only apply to the legal citizens you have knowledge of anyway, not the unregistered ones who won't fill forms or open the door!

I have now had 3 acquaintances who have been targeted - they have all had several letters, visited by different people at least 3 times. They have run the contact number on the letter to explain that they are not happy to fill in forms etc but are still being harassed. One is a lady in her late 60s, the other has learning difficulties and has limited reading ability, and the other carer of a mentally ill person.

Hello All,


Wow so many questions, i will attempt to answer for you.


1. If you do not want to participate in the census test all you need to do is inform the census officer of a refusel, job done.


2. The 2017 test is about testing new equipment, technology and questions, for example householders now are encourage to go online for the first time and complete.


3. 3 reminders were sent out, and up to five visits are carried out to support those householders to complete the questionnaire. The only way to stop the visits or reminders is to either complete the questionnaire online, or refused to complete.


3. Censor Officers have been dispatched during the evening times and at weekends because that is the most likely time householders will be at home.


4. Sorry to learn you do not open the door to people you dont know, perhaps you could of telephoned the public helpline and inform the call centre you did not want to take part, as unless the census staff are made aware, they will simply return.


5. sorry to learn the public number has been used, and your still getting visits, normally a refuel will stop all visits.


The one good news to share is the test period has now ended, so you will no longer be visited or have furture reminders sent.


Have a good day

Assuming you have proof of being an official census coordinator?

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
