Abstract
Administrative data (that is, information collected primarily for administrative purposes) has long contributed to central government and other statistics. However in the last 15-20 years, technological advancement has seen something of a revolution with the formation of very large administrative databases held by central and local government, and by specialist agencies across the UK. The existence of such databases raises the possibility that administrative data could become, in an annoymised form, a core resource for social science academic research. Many northern European countries (notably Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden) are further ahead in this regard, as they have placed much greater emphasis on developing national 'register data' from the 1980s onwards, to replace national censuses and major surveys.
In response to this possibility and supported by the ESRC the Administrative Data Research Centre - Scotland (ADRC-S), with the NHS Scotland and the Scottish government, has developed a service for carrying out anonymised administrative based data research in Scotland. This has allowed important insights to be gained on a very diverse set of issues including: the impact of homelessness on the health, the type of care given to children been look after by the state, the impact of poverty on child development, what care is being given at the end of life in Scotland and how moving helps or hinders Social mobility.
The existing service has principally been based on gaining permission and assembling, project by project process, datasets to be used by a single research group. Whilst a sensible approach during the initiation of the collaboration, it is now apparent that in order to work more efficiently, safely, fairly and to save taxpayers money, research ready data holdings are needed, based on unified process of governance and permissions.
This proposal for a next phase funding aims to achieve this. Working in partnership with the Scottish National Statistical Agency, the ADRC-S will, in particular, provide evidence of value within this new approach. It will do this through a series of strategically important pieces of work. These will particularly focus on key issues within Scotland's National Performance Framework which gives 'an overall vision of the country we want to be'.
The focus will be on these board themes:
- 'Poverty and Fair Work' - which will explore patterns of employment, including insecurity and progression; on the material benefits of employment, and the extent to which it reduces poverty
risks; and on the relationship between employment and health.
- 'Inclusive, empowered, resilient and safe communities' - will address a set of questions around shifting patterns of crime, justice and emergency service demand that are underpinned by
vulnerability and mental health within the population.
- 'Realising our potential' - aims to better understand the progress of young people looked after by the state. What is the impact of different care profiles (e.g. look after at home or in care) and
frequency of changes of states on children's outcomes, and particularly their educational outcomes
- 'Healthy and active' will explore the interactions between health and social care and the implications of informal care for service delivery for older people. In regards younger it will investigate
emerging priorities around: mental health and well-being, poverty and inequality and physical activity and in particular how these develop across the lifecourse.
The adrc-s team will work closely with its NHS partner to provide other teams access to the emerging research datasets.

Planned Impact
We identify 3 core beneficiaries for the work of the ADRC-S/ ADR partnership. We will focus our effort on the first of these during the first phase of funding at the request of the ESRC.
1. Departments and services supplying administrative data to the centre
a) Benefits in terms of data management
The main data owning departments we are working with: Scottish Government, Police Scotland, National Records for Scotland, NHS Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, Scottish Ambulance Service, local government, DWP and HMRC, will benefit from engagement from a data management perspective.
Engagement with the partnership will, in the medium term, help to ease the resource burden on the data/statistics teams within the specified departments by reducing the burden for data from the academic community. This will be achieved by moving the data request approach to a more routine, regular single ingest of data. There will however be a short term increase in burden as these processes are established. We minimise this work by providing support from the partnership team (eg IG, data science etc.).
Engagement with the partnership will allow improvements data in management, metadata etc. to be achieved. The exposure of the partnership to data architects, data scientists may well lead to new insights into their own data structures.
Finally the anonymised linked datasets will allow the data controller to new analyses themselves that they could not have done easily themselves
b) Benefits in terms of policy
The research as carried out as part of the SIPs will make a significant contribution to policy making, practice and service delivery. We have well established working relationships with groups of stakeholders. They will steer the direction of the research, ensuring it speaks to current policy priorities and is of value in operational planning.
Specific policy areas - There is a rather large group of beneficiaries most of whom we have already been in discussion with. DWP have the central role in welfare and labour markets policy at UK level. Scottish Government plays an increasingly important role for welfare and employment programmes. For health, the key targets would be in NHS Health Scotland, the national board for public health. Beyond government, there are numerous third sector groups which campaign on welfare and employment policy. Strategic policy makers who develop policy at national level. It will also include policy makers and practitioners that develop policy at local level or deal with operational matters and service delivery, such as: central and local government departments; public sector bodies and Executive; communities of practice; and third sector/NGOs (e.g. Victim Support Scotland, Inspiring Scotland, Citizens Advice Scotland).
More generally professionals in various fields will benefit through a more evidence-based understanding of how support in one area impacts service use in another.
(2) Third sector organisations
Third sectors organisations who may wish to commission academic institutions to undertake more innovative research using administrative data with the resultant information being used to develop and refine programmes of intervention.
(3) The Public
We intend within our public engagement/ communication work with the public to jointly derive statistics, which though generated through standard objective research methods, are driven by the particular questions important to a community. The aim will be to allow communities to come to understand important aspects of society as it effects their lives but also importantly to empower them, through the provision of an 'evidence base', to impact the policy making process.

Second data report on police use of fixed penalty notices under the Coronavirus regulations in Scotland
Description | Our research programmes are formed around key policy areas. eCohorts: Understanding the vulnerability of different sections of the population to novel viruses, through analysis of previously exposed populations, is very important for public health planning in the face of new exposures. The eCohorts work strand has reconstructed the pattern of births and deaths of mothers 42 days after that birth in 1918/19 and identified for the first time the increased vulnerability to an H1N1 virus for women in that phase of their lives. We have developed an innovative new residential tool linking Community Health Index (CHI) and Unique Property Reference number (UPRN). This tool enables us to better understand households by grouping them into units with the same UPRN, which has been particularly important in the pandemic in regards to transmission and effects of Covid-19. This tool is being used for and benefitting different research projects and is currently being developed for retrospective use. Lifelong Health and Wellbeing: Understanding the impact of positive youth programmes, such as the scouts and guides, across the life course can be very useful in helping inform policy for extra-school programmes for children and young people. Research from this strand has provided evidence that membership of the Scouts and Guides in childhood increases the chances of a person achieving a higher socio-economic position in adulthood and, partly as a result of this, have better general health in later mid-life. Children who participated in these organisations were around 35 per cent more likely to report excellent health at age 50 compared to their peers, the findings show. Our commuting and health research has shown a clear link between mental health and active commuting. It also found an interaction between distance from home to cycle path and gender, indicating that women are increasingly less likely to cycle to work than men the further they live from a cycle path. Safer Communities: This strand has achieved collaboration and partnership with Police Scotland around data sharing, and is now working towards a set of projects that will focus on key policing and government priorities including: a better understanding of overlapping and frequent demand for Emergency Response in Scotland; policing pathways prior to drug-related deaths in Scotland; profiling drug related incidents and crimes in Scotland; understanding patterns of and trends in domestic violence in Scotland; and analysing the Scottish offender population. A paper on the use of cryptomarkets in Scotland using data from the National Crime Agency, shows a significantly high prevalence of drug purchase from both urban centres and remote rural communities of Scotland. We have achieved the construction of a unique dataset that will enable us to better understand how a public health model might allow us to reduce violence by focusing on the needs of vulnerable groups within the population. We have provided key analysis of fixed penalty notices in Scotland during the pandemic, finding that almost a third of all Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) were issued to people living in the top 10% most deprived communities of Scotland. Moreover, FPNs were twelve times more likely to be issued to people living in the 10% most deprived parts of Scotland compared to those living in the 10% least deprived areas. It also found Covid fines peaked in latter stages of lockdown - most fines for Covid rule breaches were issued when England was in its third national lockdown and Wales was in its second, research shows. Health and Social Care: Analysis of informal care at the end of life has shown the considerable impact of deprivation for palliative care needs. This impact is the result of (a) higher period prevalence of deaths with palliative care needs happening in deprived areas, and (b) a high proportion of people with palliative care needs living long in the final year of life in more deprived places. Analysis is also beginning to suggest that informal caring reduces length of hospitalisations amongst those approaching the end of life. Future trends in where people die (and hence where care services will be needed) are likely to be influenced by housing tenure. With an increasing propensity of home ownership amongst those approaching the end of life, there may be greater need for community care services to support a greater proportion of people dying at home. Recent research during the pandemic shows a higher rate of people dying at home. It found both the number of people who died at home with or without having had any hospital admissions in the last 12 months of life increased during the pandemic. Poverty and Fair Work: This strand has focused on building research collaborations with stakeholders including parts of the Scottish Government, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and the Office for National Statistics (ONS). We have made significant progress towards data sharing agreements for projects designed to address important DWP's areas of research interest. This strand of research will enable us to advance our understanding of labour market transitions and progression for people with long-term illness and disabilities both in Scotland and in England and Wales. As part of our work on assessing the impact of benefit sanctions on health, initial findings from a recent working paper exploring differences in benefit sanctions rates across Jobcentre Plus offices over time, provide little support to the claim that different cultural environments may be operating within Jobcentre Plus offices in Scotland. Our published literature review, exploring international quantitative studies on labour market and wider impacts of benefit sanctions, shows that quantitative evidence on the wider impacts of benefit sanctions is much scarcer than that for benefit sanctions on labour market impacts. Most studies investigating the wider impacts of benefit sanctions are based on non-experimental designs and provide little support for any causal assessment. Understanding Children's Lives and Outcomes: This programme has included using knowledge from the experience of undertaking existing research to brief and advocate for attention to some fundamental practicalities and stakeholders in the Scottish Government's commitment to make children's social care data linkable and research ready. For example, the inherent challenges in linking children's social care data for children who are under 5 to other data derived from health, or, other public bodies, and the criticality of the strategic and legal stakeholders within local authorities. The ground work undertaken for a small scale feasibility study - Meeting Children's Health Outcomes - has shown that there is variability in the legal interpretations regarding data controllership and data processing responsibilities by local authorities, making negotiation for and access to data variable and inconsistent across local authorities. The analysis undertaken on the longitudinal dataset derived from the annual returns (Children Looked After Statistics) has generated a number of benefits. Working closely in partnership with the national governmental analytical team has afforded the opportunity to identify and address anomalies in the data, to structure and test out the coherence of data regarding individual children/cases over time, and to contribute to a more in depth interrogation of the reliability of particular variables as collected across 32 local authorities. In doing this work, it has been possible to undertake a careful analysis of placement patterns for very young children. Our 'Infants Born into Care' report revealed that the rate of children becoming looked-after under 1 week in Scotland was almost identical to that for England, with both increasing in a very similar way over these recent years. For all children under 1 year of age the proportion being looked after in Scotland is higher than the rate for England. Over this period in Scotland, 1 in every 85 children born in Scotland were in care at some time during their first year. |
Exploitation Route | As part of the eCohorts work strand, we have developed methodologies for linking and automatically coding civil registration data - birth, deaths and marriages. We have developed novel techniques that seem efficient and effective. We are now helping various organisations to make use of these methods and technologies in their own work. This includes National Records of Scotland and the family genetics service of the NHS in Scotland. Our Veteran's project, linking MoD data for the first time, aims to enhance much needed understanding of the veteran population and with stakeholders including the Defence Policy Unit, Veteran's Commissioner and charities, to develop future research ideas that will benefit the veteran community. Our CHI-UPRN residential linkage tool is already being used by a range of researchers and was first used to support the pandemic response. It has helped to provide improved data and understanding regarding care homes and discharge. As part of the Lifelong and Health and Wellbeing work we are now in discussions with the Scouts and Guide national organisations on how they might use information coming from the programme to inform their policy and practice. For the Safer Communities strand, we anticipate that Police Scotland, the Scottish Ambulance Service and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service will use our research findings to review their patterns of demand and identify ways of making their service delivery more effective and efficient, improving outcomes for individuals and reducing costs for society. Police Scotland may also use the findings of our research to improve organisational learning, change policing practices and create more positive outcomes for service users. The National Crime Agency and Police Scotland will work to create more intelligent models of drug supply and demand in Scotland, and work with health organisations towards reducing the number of drug deaths in Scotland. We are currently advising the Ministry of Justice, through an ADR UK collaborative project, on the use of justice data in England and Wales, and we hope to be able to start developing comparative projects that will enable us to understand how to create safer communities across the UK. We have achieved traction in the debate about how sex and gender are measured and represented in public sector data, including the census, and we have contributed strongly to the debate that the rigour, accuracy and robustness of datasets must be preserved. In the health and social care programme, work on a large, linked health and social care dataset to describe the associations between multimorbidity (more than two long-term conditions), socioeconomic position, and social care receipt have valuable insights for policymakers and government to help them organise health and social care services effectively. Our understanding of the social care data and gaps in its quality and coverage have informed and been cited in a report on adult social care statistics by the UK statistics authority, which will benefit future data collection and quality so we can better understand this population. We are working with stakeholders to make them aware of our findings on end of life care. Government and support organisations may need to consider the need for additional community services in more deprived areas. This is especially important if our work on hospitalisations provides clear indication of the impact of informal care on reducing hospitalisations. Policy may also need to provide support to informal carers if they are reducing pressure on acute care services. We are developing a research agenda on nursing data and collaborating with key stakeholders (including the Chief Nursing Office in Scotland) with a view to enhancing UK-wide data research in this area which has been particularly high profile during the pandemic regarding retention and understanding of the workforce. Work in this area has influenced Scottish Government thinking on the concept of the last 1000 days of life stemming from a seminar we led on the topic. This has led to further collaboration with the Information Services Division in the NHS and the Deputy Chief Medical Officer in Scottish Government. We are currently exploring the potential of using linked administrative data for end of life care planning in Scotland with key stakeholders including RDS. The research projects within the poverty and fair work strand have been developed in close collaboration with colleagues from both Scottish Government and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). It is expected that the work on health and labour market progression will feed into DWP's efforts to improve outcomes for individuals, employers and the economy. We envisage that our work on health and employment retention will inform an evaluation study of the Scottish Health and Work Support Service which is currently being conducted by Scottish Government and sponsored by DWP. Preliminary findings from the work on assessing the impact of benefit sanctions on health have been used to inform an evaluation study of the labour market impacts of benefit sanctions which is currently being developed by colleagues from the Department for Work and Pensions. Together, the outcomes of this funding will be to contribute to the viability of linking a longitudinal dataset, which has been subject to an enhanced level of quality assurance, for analysis regarding health, education and social care responses to children. It will help to inform what needs to happen legally, methodologically, and practically to establish streamlined access to and use of such a dataset. Our close working with our Scottish Government partners during the pandemic has helped shape the future of the new organisation, Research Data Scotland, particularly in regards to information governance reform. Our public panel have provided crucial insights into this area and others, helping to ensure that our work can benefit and be understood and supported by the public. |

Description | We are focused on creating a range of policy impacts in our key thematic areas - poverty and work, crime and justice, health and social care, lifelong health and wellbeing and children's outcomes - as well enhancing access to, quality and use of administrative data including through the creation of innovative tools. Since COVID-19, SCADR have pivoted some of our research to respond to policy-critical research areas namely around: community based COVID-19 mortality and care homes; policing the pandemic; and population health including risk factors for COVID-19 in Scotland. This research answers emerging questions from Scotland's COVID-19 taskforce and has direct policy relevance and practical implications for the pandemic. These projects have enabled us to build new connections across government, showcase the value of administrative data research and champion better quality data and access, in order to achieve the policy impact desired. In Spring 2020, our Safer Communities lead Susan McVie, was invited to join the Independent Advisory Group (IAG) on Police Use of Temporary Powers Related to the Coronavirus Crisis in Scotland. Her role has harnessed the power of existing and new datasets and provided a data-driven approach to scrutiny. Susan has produced several reports for the IAG including internal data briefings, webinars and external published reports, looking at patterns of use of the police powers in early lockdown and police use of Fixed Penalty Notices in Scotland and their impact on different demographic groups and communities. Collectively, this work has provided rich insights for Police Scotland into the temporal and spatial patterning of the use of the temporary powers during lockdown and influenced the ongoing development of police strategy and operational guidance in relation to COVID-19. It has also influenced the culture for data sharing and data use in this sector to directly inform understanding in a crisis and incorporate evidence-based insights. Susan's work on fixed penalty notices has been cited in several Government reports: Official Report (parliament.scot) and The Government response to covid-19: fixed penalty notices - Joint Committee on Human Rights - House of Commons (parliament.uk). Our director, Chris Dibben, was a member of the initial COVID-19 data taskforce and is now part of the Scottish Government's COVID-19 data and intelligence network. He continues to advise on a range of data issues and development areas and has contributed to the way the COVID-19 data holding has been developed, identifying key informational gaps and how they might be filled with data products derived from administrative data. This included the development of the CHI-Residential Linkage tool (CURL) with Public Health Scotland to aid better understanding of transmission. By linking Community Health Index (CHI) and Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN), the tool introduces a property level dimension to the population spine for patient-level data linkage where individual records can be grouped into units with the same UPRN. This work has created a better understanding of settings and households, notably care homes, to enable vital COVID-19 research and understanding for Government. The CURL tool was used to inform the key Scottish government report 'Discharges from NHS Scotland Hospitals to Care Homes' and in October 2020, Jeane Freedman, Cabinet Secretary for Health in Scotland, commented: "[It is] right that residents, families, staff, and Parliament, have accurate data and independent analysis on the transfer of patients to care homes and the impact that had in those care homes [] This data gives us a better understanding of the impact of discharges on outbreaks in care homes." The CURL tool continues be developed by Scottish Government and Public Health Scotland to work retrospectively (back to 2011) which will enhance the tool's reach and usability. It is already being used in a range of research projects and in one project on community mortality during Covid-19, it enabled 2000 more residents to be identified in care homes and included in the analysis. Analysis on deaths at home during the pandemic has been well received through our popular blog series throughout 2021 and has been utilised by a range of stakeholders in the care sector. The analysis has been incorporated into educational resources for Palliative Care Scotland including a Masters Module on Public Health - Approaches to Death, Dying and Bereavement - and in the introduction to End of Life Aid Skills for Everyone which is a public education course. This analysis has also been submitted as evidence to Scottish Government's COVID-19 enquiry into excess deaths in Scotland. We have influenced conversations and attitudes on data sharing, practice and infrastructure, as well as cultural change within Government and maintaining and advancing public trust in this area more broadly through running our public panel. We have directly informed the development of Research Data Scotland, including information governance reform. Specifically, our expertise has helped to shape and design a new data access pathway - SECURE - which is currently being developed for use by Research Data Scotland and will be a major step in streamlining data access in Scotland. The ADR Scotland public panel have also offered their insights and feedback into its development. The Infants Born into Care Report, released in Autumn 2020, has raised understanding of very young children and the patterns of care in the first year of life. We have engaged directly with a range of children's practitioners and organisations including Child Protection Scotland, The Promise and local authorities to ensure these findings and their implications reach those in policy and practice, and the results have appeared in various media articles. Our relationships with data controllers such as the Department of Work and Pensions and Police Scotland have been significantly enhanced, through a range of engagement events and continuous dialogue around the potential of administrative data to give new insights and offering our expertise in this area. This has vital impact of improving buy-in from data controllers and facilitating data sharing conversations and acquisition for Scottish Government. We are also supporting discussions with other bodies such as the Scottish Children's Reporters Administration (SCRA) and, notably during 2021-2022, with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). As part of this, we have established a nursing advisory group with key UK stakeholders from nursing policy and practice and engaged the Chief Nursing Offices across the UK. We have worked closely with the NMC to realise the potential of their data and make it available via ONS Secure Research Service in 2023. Our work with Scottish Government and local authorities has helped to improve data practice and promote the improvement of data returns and quality of datasets, as well as highlighting the need to build suitable identifiers to ensure linkage is possible. An example of this is work on the Looked after Children dataset and collaboration between one of our research fellows and a Scottish Government analyst working collaboratively to enhance the longitudinal LAC return. Another of our research fellows has contributed to the Adult Social Care Statistics Scotland report released in February 2020 - https://www.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/publication/adult-social-care-in-scotland/ - where his work on social care data and his unique understanding of this data has been cited. The rollout of more accessible data access has begun with 20 SafePods live (as of March 2023 with 3 soon to be available), which significantly increases secure and safe access to data across the UK. The recipient institutions project that the SafePods will be accessed by over 5,000 researchers. Most of the main administrative data centres across the UK have joined or are in the process of joining the network. In an early indication of impact, the Ministry of Justice has agreed that a highly sensitive dataset can be accessed by the University of Bristol through their SafePod. This would have otherwise required the researchers to travel to London. |

Description | Co-developed by SCADR with Public Health Scotland, the CURL File has been created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in order to facilitate understanding of the impact on people living in the same property as another person infected with the disease. Although the CHI database holds patient addresses, to date there has not been a consistent method for recording these, and the same address can appear multiple times but in a variety of formats, making intra-property linkage problematic. This new method seeds the addresses recorded in CHI with the Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) from the Ordnance Survey Address Base. The UPRN can then be used in CURL to bring CHI numbers for different people living in the same property together. |
Type Of Material | Improvements to research infrastructure |
Year Produced | 2020 |
Provided To Others? | Yes |
Impact | The potential utility of this resource goes much further than just COVID-19 related research and is seen as a major development to the Community Health Index (CHI) as a data linkage tool in Scotland. CHI has long been used as a population spine for patient-level data linkage in health based research projects, but the addition of a property level dimension through CURL opens up brand new avenues for researchers. This tool can be requested as part of administrative data research studies to enhance understanding of households and functions as a household indicator. |
