Linkage to early years census records

Question text:

Thinking about [child forename]... ([child_surname],[child_sex],[Child date of birth])
We would like to add some information from your child's administrative pre-school records, if applicable, to the answers you have given. This will create a more accurate picture of your child's early education, and will be used for research and statistical purposes only. It will be kept confidential and names and addresses are never included in the results. We would like to link in information about your child's pre-school to your survey responses on a yearly basis until they start school. If you decide that you no longer wish to take part in the study we will retain your child's preschool information up until that point. After this point we will make no further links. You can withdraw your permission at any time.
Please read this leaflet explaining what we would like to do and ask me any questions.
INTERVIEWER - PLEASE HAND LEAFLET INFORMATION ON ADDING EDUCATION RECORDS TO RESPONDENT AND ALLOW RESPONDENT TIME TO READ IT AND ASK QUESTIONS.
In order to locate your child's pre-school records we need to send the data holder some personal information. Do you give permission to pass your child's name, address, sex and date of birth to The Department for Education or a contractor conducting the linkage? Once your child's pre-school records have been added to your survey responses, we will remove all your child's personal information so that your answers are anonymous.
