Census data provision
Easy access to census data has been high on the agenda of the national census organisations (in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) over the last few years, as the results of the 2001 ‘one number’ census have been produced
Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) have purchased data from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) for use by the higher and further education community for teaching and research
ESRC/JISC also provide funding through the Census Programme (currently 2001-2006) to enable members of the academic community (staff and students) to access data from the 2001 and previous censuses quickly and effectively
