  What is the purpose of this Evaluation?

  Who is funding and undertaking the evaluation?
  This evaluation is being undertaken by People and Work, a voluntary sector organisation based in Cardiff, and is being funded by the Welsh Government. The principal researcher is Dr Duncan Holtom, Head of Research at People and Work.
  
  Do I have to take part?
  No. it's your choice and it will not cause you any harm should you choose not to take part or if you choose not to answer all the questions.
  
  Will my contribution to this study be kept confidential?
  Yes. All information which you provide will be kept anonymous (subject to legal requirements, such as requirement to share information to safeguard and protect vulnerable children and adults). Reports will not seek to identify you. Due to this once answers have been submitted it may not be withdrawn. You will be reminded of this before starting this survey.

  No specific risks associated with participation in the study have been identified.
  
  The language used in this survey
  This survey will use the terms 'autistic person' and 'autistic child'. This is in-line with the Welsh Government's Code of practice on the delivery of Autism services:
  
  “This Code will use the term ‘autistic people’ rather than ‘people with autism’, this is to reflect the language preferences expressed by autistic people who have contributed to the development of this Code. The term ‘people’ refers to children, young people and adults. The Code recognises all individuals, irrespective of age.” (Page 8)
  
  How can I find out more information?
  A full privacy notice can be found on the people and work website: https://peopleandwork.org.uk/en/privacy-noticed-code-of-practice/
