ADR UK Researcher Symposium - Understanding inequalities: What can administrative data research tell us?

Data from the public sector contains a wealth of information about people’s experiences across society, from schools and careers to healthcare and the courts. When this data is linked, de-identified, and shared securely with researchers, they can use it to generate new insights into patterns of inequality – and how to tackle them.   

This ADR UK Researcher Symposium will bring together researchers working on a range of topics, from the experiences of people with severe mental illness, to ethnic inequalities in the justice system. Speakers will share their findings and explore what research using public sector data can tell us about inequalities in our society, and how these inequalities might be connected.  

Register now to hear how administrative data research can provide the insights that policymakers need to improve people’s lives.
