Your privacy

The information that is collected will only be used for research purposes. Everything you choose to tell us will be treated in the strictest of confidence, in line with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

No individual will be identified or identifiable from the results. All identifying information will be removed from your responses, and they will be combined with responses from everybody else that takes part. You can choose which information you are happy to provide during the interview - you do not need to share anything you are uncomfortable with.

Taking part in the survey is voluntary and you can withdraw from the research at any time.

Kantar Public is working with NatCen and the National Foundation for Educational Research. Together they are conducting the interviews and processing and interpreting the information which is collected.

Any identifying data will be removed from the survey data collected, before it is shared with the Department for Education, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the other organisations who are helping them to deliver this study.
