Question label:

Consent to link to individual learner records

Question text:

We would like to add information from your further education records to your survey answers. This will create a more accurate picture of your life and experiences, 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. 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 education records we need to send the data holder some personal information. Do you give permission to pass your name, address, sex and date of birth to The Department for Education and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, as applicable, or a contractor conducting the linkage? Once your further education records have been added to your survey responses, we will remove all your personal information so that your answers are anonymous.
