Sarah King-Hele, of the UK Data Service, was a speaker at this Work and Equalities Institute session to introduce PGRs to accessing and utilising secondary data useful for researching inequalities. This was part of the Postgraduate Researchers’ Seminar Series: Tackling contemporary research challenges in uncertain times. 
Throughout the pandemic it has become increasingly important to access secondary data sources for research. This interactive session aimed to introduce PGRs to accessing and utilising secondary data useful for researching inequalities, in particular national-level data such as the LFS, Understanding Society, WERS, and UK Census data.
Sarah King-Hele discussed what data is available for researchers and how to access it. Ceri Hughes and Sanne Velthuis, from the Work and Equalities Institute, regularly use these resources in their own research and discussed how they use these data and how to get started.
