Census Day - 3rd October - What does that mean if we take SIMS server down?

[Alastairb25]

Hi All,

 

SQL Express issue, last minute upgrade to Full SQL - recommended by ESS

Understand they use https://dfeconnect.education.gov.uk/login - in next 20 days

 

Can only image today uses Wonde to collect

 

Spoke to Wonde and they said system would give DfE an update of missing data if SIMS server off at the time

 

Anyone else know what happens on Census day, ie today?

 

DfE dont answer phone, online queries 15 working day response time

 

 

TIA

You can run the Census at any time between today and the submission deadline.

 

It will use the data from today, for NOR etc.

submission deadline is 30/10/2024 so no rush.
