Delivering the annual canvass - England

A responsible person is defined as being any person who lawfully holds or has access to and may lawfully disclose information to the ERO in respect of each person who is residing at a property and is eligible to be registered.1  

Data provided by the responsible person will help you to establish who is and is not resident at a property, but cannot be used for any form of block registration: you will need to carry out the appropriate registration activity – such as starting the ITR or review process – based on the data provided to you. 

You will need to ensure that the information you hold on responsible persons for Route 3 properties is reviewed regularly. You should ensure that the information is up to date and that the details of anyone who is no longer associated with a property are removed.
