Removal of question 57A

• Question 57A on Futuretrack has been removed

Q57A Did you participate at any point in Futuretrack? If so, will you give permission for the answers you have provided to this survey to be linked to the information you provided to Futuretrack and for the combined anonymised data to be used for analysis by both the Futuretrack project and users of the data from this survey?

A number of your fellow students will have been part of the Futuretrack study which is carried out across four stages and tracks students up until getting their first job.  It is a large scale survey which tracks over 50,000 students who filled in their UCAS application in 2005/06.
