RAPID: Population interactions with employment, benefits and pensions - UK
This year, ADR UK is working with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to make an existing linked administrative dataset - with a significant user base across government - available to all accredited researchers through ADR UK trusted research environments. This represents a groundbreaking step in data accessibility, offering research access to information on all individuals (including children) with a National Insurance number across the UK.

Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO)
The currently available Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO) dataset contains de-identified information on the characteristics, education, employment, benefits, and earnings of children and young people educated in England, followed up through to adulthood. This is a unique source of information, with the potential to provide transformative insight and evidence on longer-term labour market outcomes and educational pathways.

Kids’ Environment and Health Cohort
This new national data resource, based on a total population birth cohort in England, will for the first time link administrative health and education data to environmental data at the national level.

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) Migrant Workers Scan
The Wage and Employment Dynamics (WED) project is linking key datasets providing valuable new insights into earnings, employment, and labour market inequality in Britain. With support from the Office for National Statistics Secure Research Service, the project is enhancing and linking the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) dataset.

Sure Start Play Data 2010 – 2020
To better understand the programme’s impact, ADR NI researchers are working with Sure Start’s Strategic Planning and Performance Group to link ten years of Sure Start data with NI health records - evaluating the health outcomes of this popular, government-led intervention for the first time.

Earnings and Employees Study (EES) 2021
To enhance opportunities further, ADR NI is developing EES 2021 - linking data from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (2014–2023) with variables from the 2021 Census of Population and Housing, and Capital Value data from Land and Property Services.

HMRC Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE) Income data
In a significant development for employment and economic research in Wales, the Welsh Government has successfully acquired HMRC P14 Income data. This emerging dataset, compiled annually by employers for each employee earning above the Lower Earnings Limit, contains comprehensive information that includes employer and employee details, National Insurance Contributions (both employer and employee), statutory payments (such as maternity, paternity, adoption, and sick pay), income tax data, and employment timelines.

Adults Receiving Care and Support Census
Following the successful integration of children’s social care data into the SAIL Databank under the current ADR UK investment, ADR Wales’s next strategic focus is on adult social care. The Adults Receiving Care and Support Census represents a major step forward in this area.

All Wales Police data
Police-related research within the SAIL Databank has historically relied on project-specific data extracts from individual police systems, largely due to the sensitive nature of the topics involved. Formal approval has been secured from all four Welsh police forces - South Wales Police, Dyfed-Powys Police, Gwent Police, and North Wales Police - via their Chief Constables and Commissioners, to begin acquiring police data for integration into SAIL Databank.
