Abstract
Our vision is to transform the way that administrative data, routinely collected by government departments and other agencies, are converted into knowledge and evidence for public and economic policy. Improved access to, and use of these data, will ensure we can tackle some of the major issues facing society, innovatively and efficiently. This will be achieved by safely managing and maximising the use of new data linkages across sectors and government departments, and working across academic disciplines. This will create new evidence to guide development, implementation and evaluation of public policy and future research, as well as new methods to link and analyse data.
We aim to develop new linked data resources, provide access to these data, ensure it is used safely and effectively, and develop research capacity. Our programme is based around seven integrated aims:
1) State of the Art Facilities: will allow access to administrative data by accredited researchers. We will strictly manage the data and researchers who are allowed to access the data, to prevent the identification of individuals. These new facilities will combine exceptional physical facilities with high performance computer systems, database management systems and advanced data analysis and statistical tools.
2) Data management and statistical analysis support: will allow external researchers to securely access the data. We will build our expertise to include providing access to and support analysis of linked data as these new resources are developed. We will work with the Administrative Data Service (ADS) to upgrade our existing secure IT facilities in line with the required standards.
3) New Data Resources: We will link administrative data sets from across different services and government departments and make them accessible for research. These new resources will be relevant for developing policy and services. At the same time we will work with the ADS to begin more ambitious linkage projects, and work in collaboration with partner organisations to link data, and develop and test different approaches to do this.
4) Original Research: We will develop a variety of new methods that enhance the use of administrative data for policy-focussed research. Key research in the first 2 years of the Centre include: methods of linking data; data quality; and policy-focussed research. A Scientific Panel of expert researchers will drive forward our research plans. Each of these researchers will lead a specific research project, which will form a rolling programme of two-year projects. The panel will also review and provide guidance on other proposed projects.
5) Training and capacity building: will increase and improve the use of administrative data by researchers (at all career stages) across social and biomedical sciences (from universities, government departments, third and private sectors). We will offer short training courses, workshops and seminars, online material, six PhD studentships, internships, and a network of national and international experts. This will deliver both the necessary safe researcher training, and improve their skills to take advantage of the opportunities provided by new linked data.
6) Collaboration with the ADRN: We will provide a range of tools and a forum for working closely with our key partners ADS, ESRC and the Office for National Statistics (ONS), as well as other who will benefit from this work. We will work to standardise datasets across the UK and beyond to allow national and international comparisons. We will develop our established links with government departments, data providers and Trusted Third Parties, and a range of organisations managing cohorts and surveys.
7) Public Engagement: We will engage with the public about linking administrative data. A Communications & Engagement Officer will lead activities in this area, and we have further dedicated staff working on legal and policy development.

Planned Impact
Impact Summary
Newly linked administrative data has huge potential for policy relevant and high impact research. Our Southampton-Bloomsbury consortium ADRC-E will develop the brief given by the ESRC in seven integrated work-streams, in order to ensure that the ESRC's ambitious vision is realised and the impact of the new Administrative Data Network is maximised.
This approach involves:
1. Providing state-of-the-art facilities for accessing this new administrative data. We will establish e-Infrastructure which will meet national research ambitions, combining exceptional physical facilities with high performance computational platforms, relational database management systems and advanced data analysis and statistical tools. This will be crucial for ensuring external researchers have easy and immediate access to approved linkages, in high quality settings.
2. Having a first-class team providing data management and statistical analysis support functions for external researchers accessing the data. Our team brings together world-class expertise in analytic methods and administrative data use from education, health, crime, environment, economic and welfare sectors, and deep understanding of the services that generate these data which will help maximize the impact of new linkages
3. Commissioning and creating new linked administrative data resources for a growing research agenda. Our aim is the establish and make widely accessible a suite of linked datasets across government departments and other sources which have previously been hidden from the research view, which because of their novelty or richness, are likely to make decisive contributions to knowledge, often in ways that are internationally uniqueusing a two tier strategy that initially prioritizes minimally disclosive linkages but at the same time works with the ADS to commence more ambitious linkage projects informed by our ambitious research agenda.
4. Conducting original research using linked administrative data and related analytical approaches. We aim to deliver new knowledge through research in methodology (in linkage methods, data quality) and in substantive policy relevant exemplar projects. This will include establishing a Scientific Panel who will drive data linkage projects around our core research programme as well as contributing to the development of the methodological research, which in the first two years will focus on:
a. Developing and evaluating linkage methods.
b. Developing and implementing methods to evaluate data quality using linked datasets.
c. Exemplar research projects to demonstrate the added value of studies using linked data for policy and service improvement.
5. Engaging in training and capacity building. Our proposed TCB activities will play a major role in our impact and to contribute to ESRC's efforts to promote better use of a range of administrative data resources and to build capacity in the use of these data. ADRC will deliver a programme of training courses in the methods for linking and analysing administrative data.
6. Working in collaboration with other elements of the ADRN. ADRC-E will establish a 'scientific front end' to diverse forms of administrative data with a range of collaborative tools and a forum for working closely with our key partners ADS, ESRC and ONS, as well as wider beneficiaries. We will engage with the ADS, other ADRCs and government departments to standardize datasets across the UK countries and beyond to allow national and international comparisons.
7. Ensuring engagement with the public and wider stakeholders is taken seriously. ADRC-E will employ a Communications and Engagement Officer who will lead on delivery of our work in this area and further dedicated staff time to lead on our input to legal and policy development. The IOE has agreed to host a number of public engagement seminars and the UCL contributed PhD will be concentrate of public engagement issues.

| Description | The Admin Data Geo Challenge consists of a large banner with a map of Southern England. On the map a selection of cities/towns are shown as a series of 1km square cells. Participants (the game is designed for school pupils), are given a question sheet that asks them to perform a series of simple mathematical calculations using admin data. For example, participants are given the average number of people in square kilometre in Portsmouth, Southampton and Bournemouth and using the number of square cells for each location calculate the total population of each place. Similar questions are asked using data relating to energy use (source: Ofgem), sold properties (source: Land Registry), school pupils (source: Ofsted), broadband connections and speed (source: Ofcom) and other population statistics (source: 2011 Census). The aim of the game is to showcase the different types of administrative data available and how they can be used to better understand society; whilst also being an engaging exercise for the participants that tests their maths skills. |

| Description | The Administrative Data Research Centre for England (ADRC-E) developed state of the-art facilities, policies and procedures to allow approved researchers access to sensitive administrative data in secure settings. The University of Southampton secure laboratory was awarded CESG Official (Sensitive) accreditation in October 2014, and a secure laboratory was also available in the Farr Institute in Bloomsbury, London. The ADRC-E, Office for National Statistics (ONS) infrastructure was completed with both the ONS accredited secure linkage facility and the secure environment for researchers to access data fully functional. The latter was part of a new Virtual Microdata Laboratory (VML) which became operational in mid-2015. In addition to the VML, ADRC-E also had agreement in principle for the University of Southampton to hold ONS datasets and for them to be made available to researchers via the Southampton and Bloomsbury secure laboratories. The ADRC-E ran an extensive programme of training courses. From April 2014 to July 2018, we delivered 62 short courses, with 87.5 days of training to over 1000 attendees on various aspects of administrative data. Courses were oversubscribed, feedback was exceptional and we received requests to repeat many of the courses. We also organised eight Administrative Data Research Network (ADRN) Accreditation Training sessions in Bloomsbury and Southampton, and had our own trainers to deliver the Safe Use of Research data Environments (SURE) training. We supported the SURE training needs of the ESRC Consumer Data Research Centre. The ADRC-E organised and attended outreach activities and conferences for researchers and data owning organisations to promote our facilities and research findings. We gave invited presentations on the ADRC-E and ADRN in the UK, Australia, Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal, South Africa, Sweden and the USA, and gave over 110 presentations at national and international conferences. ADRC-E produced a data investigation activity designed to spark the interest of the future generation of researchers, key stage 2 children, and their parents, carers and teachers. In 2015, this was taken on the University of Southampton Roadshow, which attracted 35,000 visitors from across the UK, and received the Roadshow's award for Creative Activity Design. ADRC-E built fundamental relationships with ADRN partners and stakeholders, managed expectations and worked towards achieving an outstanding reputation within the research community. We met with data owners to share our ambitions, influence potential research opportunities, and motivate them to be involved with our strategies and the positive impact we can have on society. ADRC-E methodology research demonstrated high levels of linkage error in routinely available health data, showed how score-based methods can improve linkage accuracy and how to reduce survey costs with little impact on representativeness. We worked with the MoJ to evaluate new methods for multi-dataset linkages. Exemplar studies using education, social care, health and geospatial data devised whole-country cohorts to address policy questions and data extracts that could be made available for re-use. We obtained permission to link the National Pupil Database and Hospital Episode Statistics. |
| Exploitation Route | ADRC-E's exemplar studies set precedents to enable further flows of data and offer evidence for policy, data resource development and e-cohorts for re-use. Concept studies to enable novel linkages that unlock new areas of research should be conducted. Examples include ADRC-E's emerging work on enhancing dormant trials through unconsented linkage to administrative data and work with DWP to develop safe and acceptable linkages between health and benefits data to evaluate the wider societal benefits of health interventions. The methodological contribution of ADRC-E could be expanded, which would benefit researchers and data providers. For example, further work on anonymization of geospatial indicators or developing efficient approaches to improve linkage accuracy or reduce resulting biases. Data providers in England have no natural working relationships with academic methodologists and lack capacity and incentives for innovative research and development. The ADRC-E model of collaborative work within data providers for mutual benefit needs to be expanded to develop, validate and document innovative methods for widening access to linked administrative data for research. ADRC-E methodologists should develop, share and evaluate methods for data processing, linkage and anonymization, and bridge the gulf between technical advances and interpretation of governance requirements. ADRC-E work, in collaboration with the ESRC National Centre for Research Methods, explored ways to improve the trade-off between data provider and researcher needs in geographical research using administrative data. This work takes forward the current implementation of automated zone design methods used by ONS and implements these methods in a way that can be customised to the needs of each research project. These tools have the potential to enhance spatial analysis of administrative records while providing increased levels of geoprivacy. |

| Description | The methodological work of the Administrative Data Research Centre for England (ADRC-E) on the representativeness of surveys has the potential to reduce the cost of data collection without adversely affecting the quality of the survey. Based on this work the Office for National Statistics limited the number of calls to 13 or fewer to an address for the 2017-18 Labour Force Survey and will follow suit for all their surveys. Findings from ADRC-E exemplar studies have informed policy. Evidence from linking student loans to subsequent earnings, from linking children in care over their life course, from linking data on flooding to long-term health, have been relevant to practice and policy. Exemplar data applications, though slow to progress, will enable more efficient data flows for future requests but the detailed legal and technical discussions have also enabled learning between departments about how linkage could be sustainably achieved. The ADRC-E contributed to widening the use of linked administrative data for research by creating resources to enable the safe and appropriate use of data, by creating curated datasets for re-use, and through exemplar studies that demonstrated how administrative data can be used to improve the effectiveness of policy and services. In collaboration with government data providers (NHS Digital, MoJ), the ADRC-E quantified the impact of linkage error in widely used health data and demonstrated how alternative methods could improve linkage quality. We also engaged with data providers through visits, invited workshops and projects. Our work on information to be shared about data processing and linkage methods (the GUILD guidance) has been welcomed by data providers and researchers, and should improve the quality of analyses based on linked administrative data. ADRC-E developed new methods and generated whole-country linked administrative cohorts in health, children's social care and education that could be re-used, with appropriate permissions. For example, we published methods for de-identified linkage of 10 million mother-baby pairs in hospitalisation data for England and created comparable e-birth cohorts in Scotland, England, Sweden and Ontario. Using children's social care data, we also published an e-birth cohort profile for looked after children in England and a curated dataset for re-use. We developed meta-data to characterise school attributes over time, linkage of small area pollution indices, and validated coding clusters for health conditions, which are being widely used. We produced scoping reports to guide data providers through the permission and technical processes to link their data, combined with exemplar service and policy questions that could be addressed, taking into account data quality and expected event rates (e.g. with Family Nurse Partnership and the Family Justice Service). |

| Title | tofu |
| Description | Tofu is a Python library for generating synthetic UK Biobank data. The UK Biobank is a large open-access prospective research cohort study of 500,000 middle aged participants recruited in England, Scotland and Wales. The study has collected and continues to collect extensive phenotypic and genotypic detail about its participants, including data from questionnaires, physical measures, sample assays, accelerometry, multimodal imaging, genome-wide genotyping and longitudinal follow-up for a wide range of health-related outcomes. Tofu will generate synthetic data which conform to the structure of the baseline data UK Biobank sends researchers by generating random values: For categorical variables (single or multiple choices), a random value will be picked from the UK Biobank data dictionary for that field. For continous variables, a random value will be generated based on the distribution of values reported for that field on the UK Biobank showcase. For date and date/time fields, a random date will be generated. For all other fields, such as polymorphic fields, no data will be generated. Some general observations: The lookups directory contains lookups downloaded from the UK Biobank showcase - they might need to be updated when new fields become available. Data conform to the structure and schema of the baseline file but are otherwise nonsensical: no checks have been implemented across fields. All eid's (patient identifiers) generated from this tool are prefaced with 'fake' in order to avoid confusion with legitimate datasets. Dates randomly generated are between 1910 and 1990 again to avoid confusion with real data. |

| Results and Impact | The Administrative Data Research Centre for England hosted a free public debate on Thursday 2 November 2017 at the Winchester Discovery Centre. The event was part of the UK-wide 'Future Debates' series (#futuredebates) run by the British Science Association (BSA) and supported by Genomics England. With this series, the BSA aims to "empower many more people - not just scientists - to constructively engage in debates over science's role in their lives, their local economy, and the UK's future" and "to gather information about the opinions of attendees, with the aim of creating a report that will be presented to the Chief Medical Officer for England". The Autumn 2017 debate focused on the question of: 'Does it matter who funds science?'. The event in Winchester was chaired by Vice President (Research and Enterprise), University of Southampton, Professor S Mark Spearing and the debate panel included: - Professor Peter W.F. Smith, Director of the ADRC-England and Director of the ADRN - Debrah Harding, Managing Director of the Market Research Society - Guy Goodwin, Chief Executive of NatCen Social Research - Emma Greenwood, Director of Policy & Public Affairs, Cancer Research UK - Professor Mark Cragg, Professor of Experimental Cancer Research, University of Southampton - Professor Colin Upstill, Managing Director of the IT Innovation Centre, University of Southampton - Professor Paul Roderick, Professor of Public Health, University of Southampton The panel members examined the topic of science funding and who does it and took questions from several members of the public. A total of 55 people from academia and the general public actively took part in the debate and asked questions throughout the night.

| Results and Impact | Professor Peter W Smith was a panel member at the BSA debate at Winchester Discovery Centre; Event including presentations/briefings/expert panels to answer the question who should fund Science ? The Administrative Data Research Centre for England hosted a free public debate on Thursday 2 November 2017 at the Winchester Discovery Centre. The event was part of the UK-wide 'Future Debates' series (#futuredebates) run by the British Science Association (BSA) and supported by Genomics England. With this series, the BSA aims to "empower many more people - not just scientists - to constructively engage in debates over science's role in their lives, their local economy, and the UK's future" and "to gather information about the opinions of attendees, with the aim of creating a report that will be presented to the Chief Medical Officer for England". The Autumn 2017 debate focused on the question of: 'Does it matter who funds science?'. The event in Winchester was chaired by Vice President (Research and Enterprise), University of Southampton, Professor S Mark Spearing and the debate panel included: - Professor Peter W.F. Smith, Director of the ADRC-England and Director of the ADRN - Debrah Harding, Managing Director of the Market Research Society - Guy Goodwin, Chief Executive of NatCen Social Research - Emma Greenwood, Director of Policy & Public Affairs, Cancer Research UK - Professor Mark Cragg, Professor of Experimental Cancer Research, University of Southampton - Professor Colin Upstill, Managing Director of the IT Innovation Centre, University of Southampton - Professor Paul Roderick, Professor of Public Health, University of Southampton The panel members examined the topic of science funding and who does it and took questions from several members of the public. A total of 55 people from academia and the general public actively took part in the debate and asked questions throughout the night. The discussed themes included: scientific integrity and transparency, publication of negative results, blue sky research, relation between public vs private interests, the possibility for the private industry to take part to the All Trials campaign, the development of the new UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), the relevance of the Research Excellence Framework (REF), Brexit and the freedom of movement for research personnel. |

| Results and Impact | We proposed and led the organisation of the 2017 ESRC Festival of Social Science event 'Hope & hops: the science of society' that took place in Southampton on Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th November. Over two engaging nights, research scientists at the University of Southampton and the Office for National Statistics shared their research and expertise into two challenging issues of our time: migration and ageing. This free, informal event was organised by the ADRC-E in collaboration with the other two ESRC-funded Centres at the University of Southampton, the Centre for Population Change (CPC) and the National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM), together with the University of Southampton Public Engagement with Research unit (PERu). The Festival took place at the One-o-Four Kitchen & Lounge (formerly Ebb & Flow) in the heart of Southampton. 75 people attended the event across 2 nights of science talks, discussions and entertainment. Members of the public actively asked questions at the end of each talk and during the final discussion. |

| Results and Impact | I provided significant input into the development of an ethical review pathway and application process for University of Southampton Faculty of Social, Human & Mathematical Sciences staff and students wanting to use secondary data for research purposes. This was driven by updated guidance from ESRC on ethics in 2015. I worked closely with the Head of the Faculty Ethics Committee to create an application form and process that is robust and comprehensive, but not unnecessarily burdensome, including "light-touch" where appropriate. This has been successfully adopted by the FEC, and I have shared the details with others both within and outside of the university in response to many expressions of interest. I am now a specialist ethics reviewer on the FEC, providing advice and guidance for complex ethics applications involving secondary data. |

| Results and Impact | The aim of the proposed meeting is to draw together researchers from Wales, Scotland and England to form a research team to develop a large grant application to get education, health and environmental data linked across England, Scotland and Wales in order to shed new light on the environmental determinants of cognitive function. Each Farr institute in the UK nations has ability to access administrative data and conduct the linkage with various thematic factors. Working together within a single research project provides an exciting opportunity for a large scale study and consequently great representative population of children. It would involve using both individual health and education data linked to environmental data across time at the relevant geospatial scale for a set of specific research questions, which is expected to transform cutting edge research in this area. Specific objectives of the initial meeting include: 1) across-nations networking on this topic; 2) development of the ideas for a joint cross-country large funding application to look at the environmental determinants of child cognitive function; and 3) development of further work examining the impact of environmental pollution on fetal head growth. This would build on research done by collaborators in Scotland using the Aberdeen birth cohort and would use hospital data available at UCL Partners. |

| Results and Impact | This blog outlines some of the issues around ethics in the re-use of secondary data, looking at differences in approach between academic and non-academic disciplines, the latter of which typically do not have standard ethical review pathways. Consent, personal data on social media, relevant legislation, and the fact that something is legal does not automatically make it ethical (and vice versa) are all touched on. The aim was to highlight the complexity of this area and the inconsistencies in approach, and to encourage ethical thinking from the outset of study design. The impact is in influencing decisions. |

| Results and Impact | The use of administrative data for research, evaluation, and policy innovation presents an exciting new frontier for social science research. Administrative data consist of information that many federal and state programs gather for program administration, regulatory, or law enforcement purposes but infrequently use for research, program evaluation, or performance measurement. By harnessing the power of these data, the hope is that government can encourage innovation in service provision that reduces costs while also improving the quality of government-funded programs. This conference broght together national and international scholars who are actively involved in exemplary projects that showcase the use of linked administrative data to advance social policy. Anadditional conference aim was to discuss the challenges in the emerging field of public-academic research practice. The first day of the colloquium featured five panels ofresearchers who will present recent research highlighting the use of administrative data for innovation in the areasof education, healthcare, child welfare, and research methods. Day 2 was a small group meeting that was detail-oriented and technical in nature and involved discussing future potential collaborations. |

The event is part of a wider scoping study, funded by The Nuffield Foundation and led by Prof Karen Broadhurst, which will propose an organisational model ('an observatory') for improving the generation and use of research evidence within the family justice system. The day will consist of opportunities to network, a series of short talks by academics using population-level, linked data, and an open discussion about the role of an observatory. |

| Results and Impact | In collaboration with the Mental Health Foundation the ADRC-E/University of Southampton is setting up a retrospective cohort study to examine the effects of community mental health services on users in England before and after the financial crisis. To conduct this research, the University of Southampton has requested NHS Digital to create a pseudo-anonymised dataset containing data shared by NHS Digital, the Department for Work & Pensions, CPRD group, the Office for National Statistics, the Department of Health, and the Care Quality Commission from individuals receiving community mental health services between 2006 and 2016. To familiarize mental health service users with our intent to request shared and linked data on community mental health and social services and determine what safeguards service users would like to see in place before we request this data we ran a focus group. We hoped the focus group would help us assess mental health service users' preferences and acceptance of the current practice of the secondary use of their administrative data. Overall, participants were happy for government departments to share their health, social and/or economic data if the purpose was made transparent and if this information would inform health policy and practice. The focus group discussion helped us improve service users' education on data protection and data linking and create dissent opportunities with regard to our ongoing study. We have also created opportunities for service users to be involved in the research advisory committee. |
