The response and quality of the count can be affected by the following factors:- Local Authorities not completing their returns;
- inadequate counting practices;
- geography – particularly in large rural areas which require correspondingly large resources to map all sites;
- Gypsy and Traveller mistrust; and
- the counts are voluntary, with no rewards to Local Authorities completing their returns or penalties for those that fail to do so.
