Checkers examine every field of a Transcriber's work to ensure accuracy and compliance of transcription compared with the census images and the FreeCEN standards.
Checkers do not correct errors made by the Enumerator except under tightly controlled conditions. (See "Enumerator's Errors" [7b]).
A Checker should take care to insert any entries omitted from the original transcript, especially the recording of all vacant premises as separate "households".
Checkers should pay particular attention to Notes and Comments [7a] raised by the Transcriber, with the intent to resolve all queries where-ever possible.
Where Checkers are confident about those alterations they may reset the appropriate query flag to 'blank'.
At any time a Checker may set a query flag or make comments by way of a "Checker's Note". (A Checker cannot alter a Transcriber's Note.)
CHEKCENSCHEKCENS is an obsolete programme which should not be Downloaded or Installed except to allow completion of work currently in progress.All "new work" should be carried out using WINCC

WINCCWINCC is a Windows-based routine which requires examination of every field of a transcript before a record can be "accepted" (with, or without, corrections or outstanding queries.)While records can only be processed in strict sequence (ensuring that none are missed) provision is made to allow examination of any record in the file, or to go back and amend any record which has previously been 'accepted'.

A person should never perform Checker tasks on work which they originally Transcribed.
Completed Work [7g], together with the loan media containing the census images, is normally returned to the County Co-Ordinator who will issue the work to another volunteer for Validation.
