Featuring an event
Contact Census Customer Services if you would like us to feature an event here. Some 6,000 readers receive alerts to new issues of Census News.
Events are featured where they help to promote ONS interests, particularly if ONS is actively involved. There are no hard and fast lines on the inclusion of events, but inclusion of those arranged by commercial organisations may be considered on the balance of usefulness and intended profit. Further publicity is generally not given to already extensively publicised events unless there is specific Census content.
