I took part in 2023/2024, what will happen to the information I gave? 

The information you and other families have provided will continue to be used, for many years to come, for research to improve the lives of children and families in the UK. The information is used for research purposes only. Your survey responses will be put together with the answers from all the other people who are interviewed and made securely available for research via the UCL Data Safe Haven, UK Data Service and other secure research environments. 

Sometimes this may include commercial organisations using the data for approved research purposes. This research data does not contain any names, addresses, or other personal details that could directly identify individuals in the study. 

We may also add information from administrative records, if you gave us permission for this, and about your local area or property.  

Your name, address and other contact information will be retained, and like all study information, this will be treated in strict confidence and kept securely.     

Your study information is used in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and will be retained until no longer required by the study. Generation New Era has strict security rules and secure systems to protect your information. 

You can find more information about this on the looking after your information pages.
