Text: Email text: Subject: Understanding Society: Adding credit records Dear Name Thank you for taking part in the recent Understanding Society survey. Your continued help with this important social study is greatly appreciated. During the interview this year, you gave us permission to link your survey responses to the data on your benefit claims and time on employment programs that is held by the HHGRID.REGION = 1 | 2 | 3Department for Work and PensionsHHGRID.REGION = 4Social Security Agency. In order to carry out the data linkage we will pass on your name, address and date of birth to the HHGRID.REGION = 1 | 2 | 3DWPHHGRID.REGION = 4SSA so that they could identify your administrative records. Once identified, the file containing your administrative records will be anonymised (i.e. your personal details removed) and sent back to us with an identifier which will allow us to link those records to your survey responses. The anonymous dataset will then be created that will contain the linked data, which will be made available to social researchers under restricted access arrangements which make sure that the information is used responsibly and safely. The linked information will inform further analyses and help us get a better picture of those who are using services provided by the government. The government department will never have access to both your personal details and your survey responses at the same time and this will not affect any dealings you have with the department. If you would like more information about the data linkage process, please check our website: https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/participants/economic-records Thank you Michaela Benzeval Understanding Society Director University of Essex 2. Additional information about email addresses a)If IV gives email address in CONTACTDETAILS_W8_REMAIL, email is sent to address given. b)If IV refuses email address in CONTACTDETAILS_W8_REMAIL, email is sent to address in the sample. For joiners and continuing respondents for whom there is no email address in the sample, no email will be sent. c)If IV’s name is updated when doing the grid, email is addressed to the updated name. d)Email address updates in the HH grid are not recognised in the IV script. This is because we don’t transfer updated email addresses from the household script to the IV script via the grid variables. The only scenario where this updated email will be used is if person 1 does the grid and the household interview. in all other cases an email will be sent out to the old email address. e)Information is not passed from the login script to the IV script as the grid variables are already set. Therefore updates to the person’s name will not be recognised in the IV script and the email will include the previous name. f)If sample has been transferred from CAPI to CAWI, no emails will be sent because the mode type on the grid variables for those respondents would be CAPI and not CAWI.
