Tenure - suggested validation check to avoid miscodings

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:26:22 +0000

I attended the London Census outputs roadshow in October and brought up the
question of errors in tenure entries in the 2001 census, whereby
particularly tenants of housing associations receiving stock transferred
from local authorities were confused about their landlord and gave wrong
answers. I was shown questionnaire changes which will help to limit these
errors, but suggested also the use of NROSH (the National Register of
Social Housing) to check entries via postcode or maybe even NLPG UPRN. The
administration of NROSH is now the responsibility of the Tenant Services
Authority. I have discussed this with Paul Askew, who leads the section
for NROSH, and learned that they are willing to talk about it. The
contacts there are Paul (ku.vog.xsg.ast|weksA.luaP#ku.vog.xsg.ast|weksA.luaP) and Amanda Hall (
ku.vog.xsg.ast|llaH.adnamA#ku.vog.xsg.ast|llaH.adnamA).
