SCHEDULE 5Form of undertaking

All individuals working on the 2021 Census are subject to confidentiality requirements set out in the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007, the Census Act (Northern Ireland) 1969 and Data Protection Legislation (including the General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018). This includes personal information from the 2021 Census and any other previous censuses as well as data from administrative and survey sources.

Breaching the provisions of this legislation is a criminal offence and could result in prosecution which, if found guilty, would mean that you would have a criminal record and be liable to a fine and/or up to two years imprisonment.

I …….. being a person employed by, or appointed as an approved contractor or service provider undertake to fully and honestly perform the duties assigned to me in accordance with all relevant legal provisions, and I understand that failure to comply fully with these obligations may result in a criminal record and a fine or term of imprisonment.

I will not, except in the performance of my census work, disclose or make known, now or at any subsequent time, any matter which comes to my knowledge as a result of this work relating to any person, family, household or business. I acknowledge that this applies to all information that is not already a matter of public knowledge and that it applies to all electronic, written and oral information.

At the termination of my engagement I shall return all information provided to me, or acquired by me, in the course of my work and confirm in writing that no copies of any such information have been retained. I will use any access materials that I am given, such as a security pass, personal identification material, passwords, keys to secure safes or other information repositories, only to perform agreed duties. I will not lend, transfer, or otherwise disclose such material to others and will take appropriate measures to safeguard the confidentiality of such materials. In all cases such materials will be returned at the termination of my engagement or upon request by the Office for National Statistics for England and Wales or the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency for Northern Ireland.

I will report any significant concerns I have about the confidentiality of personal information collected or held for the purposes of the census and related research, whether arising from my own duties or from my actions or those of others, directly to the Office for National Statistics at Census.Confidentiality@ons.gov.uk for England and Wales, or Census.Confidentiality@nisra.gov.uk for Northern Ireland.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations set out the detailed arrangements necessary for the conduct of the census directed to be taken on the 21st March 2021 by the Census Order (Northern Ireland) 2020 (“the Census Order”). They also revoke the provisions of the Census Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 (S.R. 2010 No.218).

Regulation 4 provides for the division of Northern Ireland into enumeration districts, census team co-ordinator areas and census areas.

Regulation 5 provides for the appointment of persons to carry out the duties assigned to them under these Regulations.

Regulation 7 provides that a person required by the Census Order to make a return at the census will discharge their responsibility when the relevant questionnaire, specified in Schedule 1 and which are set out in full in Schedules 2 to 4 to these Regulations, has been received by the Registrar General.

The paper questionnaire will be as set out in the Schedules. The online questionnaires will be accessed via www.census.gov.uk/ni for households and individuals and www.nisra.gov.uk/Census-CE for communal establishment managers. The websites will also contain information relating to the census with specific reference to the completion and submission of the online questionnaire (e.g. how to start an online questionnaire, the persons to be included, when the census should be completed and how help can be found).

Regulations 8 to 18 provide detailed arrangements for the delivery, completion and return of the questionnaires.

Regulation 19 provides for follow-up action to be taken in the event that a questionnaire sent or delivered in accordance with these regulations is not returned or is returned incomplete.

Regulations 20 to 22 make provision requiring information to be given to prescribed person or a census officer. They also make provision to prevent the unauthorised use, publication and communication of information obtained for the purpose of the census and to ensure the safe custody of forms and documents and electronic devices.

Regulation 23 provides for the giving of an undertaking concerning the confidentiality of information obtained as a result of the census by persons who will have access to that information.

Contravention of the Regulations is an offence under section 7 of the Census Act (Northern Ireland) 1969 – however under section 7.3 there is no penalty for householders or electors who do not complete the questions on religion or sexual orientation.

1969 c. 8 (N.I.); the relevant amendments are S.I. 1999/663, article 2(1) and Schedule 1, paragraph 15; 2004 c.33 section 261(3) and Schedule 29, paragraph 9.
