Abstract
The Data First programme is a Ministry of Justice (MoJ)-led investment funded by Administrative Data Research UK (ADR UK), part of the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). This is a ground-breaking and pioneering new programme that will have a real impact on evidence across justice and beyond, and will allow for key lessons of experience to be cascaded nationally. This ambitious programme will help us to better understand and support our justice system users by improving and linking internal and external administrative data, making this available to analysts both in government and across academia, to enable and promote research in this field. The programme covers civil, family and criminal justice as well as emerging links to administrative data held by other government departments. Overall, the aims of this programme are to:
1. Improve administrative data flows and internal and external data linking
2. Strengthen MoJ's strategic research capabilities by facilitating research by external academics and researchers
3. Provide external academics with a sustainable and secure way to access relevant anonymised research-ready linked data extracts
This programme will include the commissioning of specific pieces of strategic research in line with our MoJ Areas of Research Interest and Evidence Strategy.
Administrative Data Research UK (ADR UK) is one of The Economic and Social Research Council's (ESRC) most important investments. ADR UK aims to facilitate the linking of data held by different parts of government, and enable safe and secure access for accredited researchers to these newly joined-up datasets. These datasets will form a sustainable and rich resource, enabling more nuanced and insightful research, and ultimately informing public policy and impacting lives across the UK. By linking data, we can unearth hidden patterns and trends that allow us to gain a deeper understanding of the invisible mechanisms that underpin our society. The Ministry of Justice's (MoJ) Data First Programme is one of the first strategically important programmes for ADR UK driven by a Westminster government department. The MoJ Data First research partnership aims to create linked datasets that will enable crucial research into the justice system. ADR UK is working with the MoJ to fund methodological work linking administrative data outputs across a broad range of justice services. By linking data from civil justice, family justice, the Crown Court and magistrates' court, we aim to create a justice-wide data inventory, enabling researchers to build a better understanding of users of the criminal, civil and family justice systems. This will provide new insights into, for example, the extent to which people facing civil and family problems also interact with the criminal justice system. The project has huge potential to shape our understanding of justice system users, understand what policies are effective, and improve services.

Planned Impact
The MoJ/ADR Data First Programme will assist understanding and supporting our justice system users by linking and improving MoJ data, carrying out quantitative and qualitative research on these data sets to fill key evidence gaps and making anonymised data available to academics for external research. It will offer unique insights about the users of the criminal, civil and family justice systems; who they are; how frequently they use our services; how they interact with broader public services across Government; with the aim of improving (and/or reducing) their interactions with the justice system and other public services. In order to further our understanding of this cohort, MoJ would also like to improve its data flows and internal and external (for example, with data from PHE, HMRC, the DfE and DWP) data linking, strengthen strategic research capabilities and enable more and better external research by involving academics and providing them with a sustainable and safe way in which they can access relevant anonymised data extracts.
This bid will enhance the available skills around data mapping, flows and linkage, making MoJ data more usable and connected to understand user interactions with justice & Government services (user journeys). It will support with resource to pursue additional external shares, giving the capacity to drive them forward in parallel, and in making the data ready and available for academics and other analysts across government to explore. In addition, specific pieces of strategic research on the anonymised datasets would be commissioned in line with MoJ Evidence Strategy. We envisage academics adding value in terms of adding analytical skills and expertise, particularly understanding 'what works', causality and robust methods of evaluation.
The bid will allow the creation of a pool of both quantitative and qualitative analysts to carry out data science, statistical analyses and research on the data supervised by a leading academic with knowledge and expertise of justice issues. This work will allow filling many evidence gaps, thus improving the evidence base for public policy decision making and delivery. For example, we will increase our knowledge base for reducing re-offending. As broader data shares are created we will increase the evidence base about the cohort of users of cross government services with multiple complex needs.
By providing an evidence base for public policy decision-making; for public service delivery for decisions which are likely to significantly benefit the UK, economy, society or quality of life of people in the UK; for improving Official Statistics; expanding existing research; significantly extending understanding of social or economic trends or events by improving knowledge; and improving the quality, coverage or presentation of existing statistical information The MoJ/ADR Data Frist Programme will benefit the following stakeholders: The public; Justice system's users and their families and social networks; Charitable organisations working with these users; Government departments involved; The courts and the criminal justice system (police, judiciary, probation and prison) and those working in these domains; The UK economy; and The UK society (current and future generations) at large.

| Description | The award is a secondment to the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) to work on the Data First project, funded by the ADR UK (which is funded by the ESRC). As such, its main focus relates to making research-ready datasets available to government and non-government (including academic) researchers for analysis in an ethical way. Therefore "the findings" of this award relate to: 1) understanding data sharing concerns, MoJ evidence gaps, data availability, data quality, data linkages, and research feasibility; and, 2) enhancing the use of the Data First datasets via supporting: (a) MoJ and the judiciary - data owners; (b) the ADR UK programme of Data First research fellowships; (c) researchers in developing their ideas, understanding the datasets and disseminating their findings, and working with justice users for practical societal impact of their research; and (d) justice users in influencing Data First research and gleaning out the policy and practical implications of findings. Unlike traditional research projects the intended impact audience /stakeholders of this particular award, which aims to promote administrative data usage as well as develop demand for linked justice datasets, originally were academic researchers (see also last paragraph herein). However, in the period since the project's inception my role has developed to encompass working with all teams in the chain of "research-ready MoJ data-based independent analyses to inform policy and improve lives": government and the judiciary data owners and analysts, including the MoJ 's Data Access Panel (DAP), research funders, DEA-approved data processors, government and academic social researchers and data linking experts, and justice users. The last group is represented by the User Representation Panel (URP), with membership corresponding to the diverse needs of different justice system user groups. I have closely collaborated with MoJ Data First team members and more broadly members of the MoJ Data and Analytical Services Directorate to: highlight policy evidence gaps that can be addressed via analyses of the Data First datasets; align MoJ policy and academics' evidence needs, support and feasible by both parties timescales; and promote Data First datasets and their policy-informing research potential to researchers (see later paragraph on academic engagement), policy analysts, and justice users. As a member of the HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) interim Senior Data Governance Panel (SDGP) - an expert advisory group that provides expert and independent advice to HMCTS on the governance of courts and tribunals data, applications for accessing data held by HMCTS and related issues - I support Data First data access applications and report ESRC - funded Data First Research Fellowships' findings back to the SGDP. I also contribute to the panel's (monthly in 2020/2021 and every two months in 2021/2022) wider discussions on courts' data access, conditions, and to what purpose outside the Data First sphere. I have supported the development and commissioning of (a suite of) ESRC Data First Research Fellowships. The ADR UK ESRC Data First Research Fellowships aim to support excellent research with immediate impact to fill MoJ evidence gaps and improve outcomes for justice users. As a member of the Organising Committee, I have contributed to the setting up of co-ordinated activities for launching the calls and related documents (over a series of weekly meetings) and co-organised applicant workshops. As Chair or member of the Commissioning Panel of few ADR UK Data First Research Fellowships, including the MoJ Evaluation Fellowship and the ADR UK PhD support, I contributed to the commissioning of respective Data First Research Fellowships and PhD projects. Most importantly I instigated the Data Explained briefs for public dissemination - and, if required, expanded Data Explained reports within the ONS SRS - of data issues encountered during the Data First Research Fellowships projects. The aim of this set of outputs is twofold: to record data limitations and users' / researchers' recommendations for improving administrative data recording and quality; to create a knowledge base for future users (Accredited Researchers working on approved projects or planning their project applications) of the Data First datasets. Following the award of Data First Research Fellowships, as Academic Lead I review all (eleven to date) Data First Research Fellowships' emerging findings prior to public dissemination and work with Research Fellows and MoJ's Data Access Panel members to ensure findings are presented in an ethical manner. I have also undertaken a large number of engagement activities to promote awareness of the Data First project datasets and available research support (Data First Research Fellowships) to date, including: organising and presenting at six MoJ Data First academic seminars; blogs; workshops to post-graduate students; workshops to members of learned societies and their Early Career Researchers networks; conference presentations; learned societies' newsletter entries; academic networks' notifications and workshops; and other Data First - related awareness activities. Over the course of the award, I have also engaged with multiple academics, PhD candidates, and research groups to explore the feasibility of their research ideas with current and planned Data First datasets. In order to expand the reach and instil interest in future generations of crime and justice researchers and analysts, I included ADR UK's work and the Data First datasets in a recent textbook (by Davies and Rowe (eds.) An Introduction to Criminology, SAGE Publishing) chapter (Chapter 4, pp. 57-75) on "Tool of the Trade: Crime, Survey and Big Data" (Tseloni and Duncan, 2022). I have collaborated (via overseeing and co-authoring) in MoJ-led analysis of shared Data First datasets for publication; and have contributed to MoJ - led Data First outputs, including regularly updated User Guides, Data Catalogues, Metadata, and a forthcoming Data First report on "Returning defendants and the potential of linked criminal courts data" (Jackson et al., 2022). As part of my contribution to MoJ Data First internal and external research and based on the evidence gaps for future research identified in the Jackson et al. (2022) study, I have also developed a series of suggestions for Data First research projects and policy evaluations that can be supported by linked MoJ data. These suggestions have been forwarded to the Evaluation Taskforce Fund. In addition, I have contributed to MoJ Data First Academic Advisory Group (AAG) and User Representation Panel (URP) respective membership refreshes, regular meetings and discussions, most notably contributing to foster a dialogue and collaboration between data owners, data processors, social researchers and justice users to ensure that insights from research findings lead to tangible, real world improvements to the experiences and outcomes of justice users. This has directly informed ADR UK thinking of engaging users with Data First and other ADR UK-funded research fellowships beyond justice data. I have contributed to the ADR UK Training and Capacity Building Task and Finish panel and ongoing discussions and plans for Data First training. The above work is ongoing with an (extended) end date March 2023 when this grant ends. The intended and targeted audiences reported as Other in the list of detailed impact outcomes of this submission refer to Academics (a group missing from the available selection list within Researchfish submission but, as explained here, at the heart of the work of the present ESRC award). |

| Title | Data catalogues and data user guides |
| Description | I contributed with advice (to MoJ social researchers entrusted with their preparation), reviewing and editing of preliminary versions to the MoJ Data First data catalogues and user guides. I have also requested and thus initiated the production (by MoJ Data Scientists) of synthetic (fake) criminal courts datasets to use (as originally envisaged) in demostrations at Data First training workshops. They are also provided to interested researchers as examples of the real (but secure and therefore not accessible without due process) criminal courts datasets. Finally I provided comments on adapting the MoJ data access application forms to fit with the Data First Research Fellowships parameters and conditions. |
| Type Of Material | Improvements to research infrastructure |
