In a world where data have become a recognised valuable asset for our societies, the Data Ethics and Governance and Official Statistics sections of the RSS would like to invite you to a series of webinars to discuss the different facets of sharing and linking of individual and personal data for research purposes.
To start this series, the initial webinar will introduce the ONS latest trusted research environment (IDS) and hear from the programme of research on administrative data across the UK led by ADRUK showcasing how data can be used for the public good without compromising confidentiality. We will also look at how the development and applications of the Five Safes framework can support safe and ethical statistics and help balance demands for transparent and open science, and the individuals’ rights to data protection and privacy.
The UK Statistics Authority (UKSA) review by Professor Lievesley and its recommendations 6 and 7 highlighted the importance of efficient data sharing for research and statistics, and the role the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Integrated Data Service (IDS) programme can play in that space.
