DESCRIPTION:Why do we need a safe environment and procedures to access se
 nsitive data for research? Confidential data\, deemed ‘personal’\, are g
 enerally prevented from release by data collectors (e.g. by way of downl
 oad)\, for fear that a data subject could be identified\, and confidenti
 al information about them exposed. \n\nThis one and a half day workshop 
 organised by the UK Data Service will introduce what is involved in sett
 ing up a secure research facility and the principles to support internat
 ional best practices for providing safe and secure access to confidentia
 l and sensitive microdata via secure remote access\, the 5 Safes: Safe P
 eople\, Safe Projects\, Safe Settings\, Safe Outputs\, Safe Data. \n\nTh
 e workshop will cover:\n\n    Safe People - we’ll introduce the concept

 ’ll explain the differences between ‘Remote Access’\, ‘Onsite Access’\, 
 and ‘Job Submission’ systems\n    Safe Data - what data can we provide t
 o researchers in a secure facility? We will apply our experience to emer
 ging forms of data\, particularly administrative sources\, and how we ca
 n meet the challenges presented by Big Data for maintaining confidential
 ity\n    Safe Outputs - we’ll share our experience of output-based stati
 stical disclosure control\n\nWe will also hold smaller ‘break-out’ sessi
