Our mission

Our mission

ADR UK is transforming the way researchers use public sector data, enabling better informed policy decisions that improve people’s lives.

Administrative data

Administrative data is an undervalued, untapped resource. This wealth of data has the potential to provide powerful insights into our society and in turn point to areas where change is needed.

Ethics & responsibility

ADR UK works hard to ensure that the data we process is kept safe and used only for research which has potential for public good.

Working with government

ADR UK works closely with both UK Government departments and the devolved administrations to create opportunities for our research projects to answer their pressing questions and help inform important policy decisions.

Working with researchers

ADR UK works with expert researchers to create valuable new insights into UK society.

Working with the public

ADR UK’s work is fundamentally about improving people’s lives, so collaborating with the public is an essential part of what we do.
