Notes | The coding structure reflects that used in other national surveys and so allows comparative statistics to be derived both within and outside the sector. A member of staff can identify himself or herself as having up to two national identities. Code U 'Unknown' should be used for staff who have not been asked what they consider their national identity to be, or have failed to respond to a request for information. Code R 'Information refused' should be used for staff that have explicitly refused to provide the information. When collecting this data, providers can choose to use the answer option 'Prefer not to say' which can be mapped to 'Information Refused'. |
