Do I need to actually tell someone I'm not doing it?

Don't see why. I'm not going to bother - although maybe I'll send an email saying

I am currently processing your census offer and
will be in a position to update you regarding the progress
of my application in the near future.
I have received lots of emails which I am processing as
quickly as possible but would like to apologise for any
delay in getting back to you due to the large volume
involved.
I appreciate your patience and I will contact you as
soon as I am in a position to do so. Please check your
email account for updates.

If you've been allocated to a coordinator, he/she will give you a call to confirm your start date...and you can then tell him/her that you don't want to carry on. I guess that's why so many are on the reserve list.....Capita has really dealt with this badly as lots of people will come into the job already resentful....
All i can say is dont' take it out of your coordinator as we went thru the same dealings few months back!!!:(

anyone still to do their classroom session be aware (if you aren't already) that the person running the course is not just teaching stuff but is sneakily assessing you.

i just heard someone at my classroom session has been declined. so it may all seem light hearted and a bit of a laugh, but it isn't (although that should really be blindingly obvious).

I'm only on the reserve list - if I actually had a confirmed job I would tell someone if I were to give it up.

I think people on the reserve list just stay on it until they are called and that may be never - speaking to CAPITA yesterday I asked them when they were sending out the regret letters and guess what they didn't know :mad:! I feel sorry for the people manning the phones as it's clear that they don't actually know a great deal so obviously get a lot of hassle every day.

Can't believe how slow it all appears to be in England. I'm a Census Enumerator in Scotland have have delivered all 913 of my Census questionaires (I accepted 2 districts as they'd run out of reserves).

Hope everyone gets through it at some point!

I've been issued a final offer contracted to start tomorrow as a collector, but still have not heard from my coordinator.

When I called Census Recruitment all they could tell me was that "we have had a lot of similar calls and have escalated the problem".

Anybody else in the same boat or know how I could contact my coordinator?

Amazing to hear that some people now have places on reserve list I have still heard nothing other than that I have not been ruled out and a few emails with the usual 'you will hear in 2 -3 weeks' nonsense, my interview was on November 16th and I have over 30 years local government experience, maybe I am too old - this is a total shambles and I will have no faith in the statistics produced from this census.
