The Census.

[toomanyshoes]

There's also a specific page/event pushing to change the census question. Apparently it was going to be reviewed after the last census, but with the changes in government it was put aside and never done

I think it's a stupid question, especially since they claim it's to collect data about fertility! Wouldn't it be more helpful to ask how many pregnancies/live births/stillbirths/miscarriages a woman has had?

I'd be tempted to include Ianto, but it wouldn't change anything.

Agree completely, if it really was about fertility those other questions would be asked.

Maybe we should write it in there anyway, next to the particular question.

I did my census yesterday and I admit, I was really thrown off by this question. I kept thinking they would ask me further along if there were any stillbirths or miscarriages but there was nothing. It felt strange and sad to not include Noah's birth along with the birth of my other children

Thanks for posting this. To any parent who's had a stillbirth, answering this question would be extremely upsetting.

Big hugs to anyone who has become distressed because of this question.

There is a feedback option at the end of the online one. I used it

I will do the same Onyx!

Speak of the Devil...... the Census arrived today. I knew it was coming but I've logged on and lost it. The insensitive jerks.

Made a bad day even worse.

Hope tomorrow is more gentle on you.

Writing anything on the form oustide of the allowed spaces is pointless as it is all done automatically, not by a person (well supposedly anyway).
