Secure Lab data COVID-19 update

Non-ONS Secure Access data
ONS Secure Access data

In April we announced that we had been successful in agreeing a set of additional conditions of use that enabled users to access non-ONS Secure Access data from home, on a temporary basis. On 7 May we gained agreement from the UK Statistics Authority for accessing our Secure Lab from home for selected projects using ONS Secure Access data. This necessitates tighter restrictions and requires a separate application process.

The measures mitigate against the additional risks posed by people working outside their institutional environment and provide assurance to data owners. This applies only to the current temporary lockdown period where users are unable to travel to their work site, and ONLY where data owners have agreed.

Users of ONS data will need to submit an application for temporary home-working access for each project: srs_ukds homeworking_request_form.docx. Requests will be considered regularly by ONS and the secretariat of the Research Accreditation Panel (RAP). Each application will need to demonstrate how it is meeting both sets of criteria around the A. Purpose of project and B. Urgency and timescales. Once the application for home-working has been approved, users will need to complete the UK Data Service requirements for home working access via our Qualtrics agreement. One of the tighter restrictions is that the machine used at home (used to remotely connect to the users UK Data Service approved work machine) must be organisational/institutionally provided. At present there are no alternatives other than users going to their workplace to access their computers as usual.

Data owners who have agreed to the new arrangements, and the relevant datasets, are listed below. Please note carefully any additional restrictions required by data owners in the table. Use of data from home not listed below will constitute a breach of the agreement. Users who breach the agreement will face a ban for a minimum of six months from using any data provided by the UK Data Service. New owners are being added regularly, so please continue to check here.

Important note: The home working agreement should not be used for any project using non-ONS Secure Access data in the Secure Lab. This has a separate access protocol see: Secure Lab data COVID-19 update non-ONS.

Instructions:

1. Submit temporary home-working access project proposals to ONS via research.support@ons.gov.uk using this form. 

2. Only when 1. is approved complete UK Data Service additional agreement ONS Qualtrics.
