NEST consent

Question text:

We would like to add any records held by the National Employment Savings Trust (NEST), the government-backed pension scheme, to the responses you have given to this study. If you have an account with NEST, these records will include information they hold on your pension savings through employers who've enrolled you into NEST, and any savings you've made yourself into the scheme. Linking the information will help us to get a fuller picture about who saves with NEST and how their retirement savings are building up. All information will be used for research purposes only. It will be used by academic or policy researchers under restricted access arrangements which make sure that the information is used responsibly and is held securely. If you decide that you no longer wish to take part in the study you can withdraw your consent at any time. If you withdraw consent, we will retain your NEST information up until that point after which time no further links to the personal data will be made. Please read this leaflet explaining how we would like to attach your NEST records to the answers you have given in this study and ask me any questions. INTERVIEWER - PLEASE HAND LEAFLET INFORMATION ON ADDING NEST RECORDS TO RESPONDENT AND ALLOW RESPONDENT TIME TO READ IT AND ASK QUESTIONS. We need you to give your consent for us to pass your name, post code, sex and date of birth to the National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) Corporation or a contractor conducting the linkage, so that they can identify whether you have a NEST account, and if so, to link this information to your survey responses. Are you happy to give us your consent?
