To help us understand more about how things in your workplace impact on your experiences, we would
like to link some information about your employer to your survey responses. This would be things like the number of staff and the turnover of staff at your workplace.
It will not be possible to identify you, or your employer or workplace, from any information that is linked.
The answers you have provided in this survey would still be anonymous.
If you agree and tell us the name and address of your employer we will use this to match information about your employer held by Skills for Care in the Adult Social Care Workforce Data Set (ASC-WDS) to your
survey answers. Ipsos would only share information you provide about where you work with Skills for Care for matching on
information they hold about your employer. No other answers you have given would be shared with Skills for Care so they would not know who you are.
Can Ipsos link the answers provided in this survey with information about your employer from the ASC WDS data set held by Skills for Care?

1. Yes
2. No _x000D_
