Public Notice : BSS suspends census enumeration

The Barbados Statistical Service (BSS) is aware of the videos circulating on social media relating to the sale of items regarding the Population and Housing Census.  Please be aware that the individual in the video is NOT associated with, nor is authorised to conduct business on behalf of the Barbados Statistical Service.

The safety of our staff and the Barbadian public is paramount, and to this end we have engaged the Barbados Police Service in this matter.  As a result, the Barbados Statistical Service has suspended Census enumeration until further notice.

The public is also reminded that all officers of the BSS are governed by the Statistic Act, Cap. 192, which prohibits all employees from divulging information collected on individuals and individual businesses.
