There were also concerns about the value of continuing with the traditional approach adopted for the 2011 census. This included whether collection methods were still fit for purpose in a rapidly changing society and whether census outputs, based on a survey conducted every ten years, would continue to meet the increasingly demanding needs of public and private sector users. Emerging technological developments were seen as providing alternative and improved data gathering opportunities. These concerns and opportunities led the UK Government to question if a supplementary or wholly alternative approach to the traditional 10-yearly census was required; more frequent, possibly annual, small-scale surveys could be employed instead.<a href="#cite_note-Beyond2011background-10">[10]</a> In 2011, <a href="/wiki/The_Beyond_2011_Programme" class="mw-redirect" title="The Beyond 2011 Programme">The Beyond 2011 Programme</a> was established to look at alternatives to the traditional census approach.
