Double date with SSHOC Events this week

20 September 2021 - 14:00 to 15:00 - Showcase your survey for free on the EMM Survey Registry

The Ethnic and Migrant Minority (EMM) Survey Registry — co-created by COST Action 16111-ETHMIGSURVEYDATA, the H2020 SSHOC project, and the ANR FAIRETHMIGQUANT project — is a free online tool for discovering and learning about existing quantitative surveys undertaken with EMM (sub)populations in Europe and beyond.

With the beta version successfully launched in spring 2020 and currently displaying metadata for over 1200 surveys from 25 different countries, the EMM Survey Registry is looking to expand its metadata offerings by partnering with data producers, particularly those who are producing or have produced a COVID-19 survey with EMM respondents.

This webinar is therefore intended for data producers of quantitative surveys, so they can learn:

• why the EMM Survey Registry is an effective tool for showcasing a survey on EMMs' integration and/or inclusion for free with an international audience
• when and how to contribute metadata for their survey using the back-end platform of the EMM Survey Registry
• how the EMM Survey Registry is facilitating access to COVID-19 surveys undertaken with EMM respondents

21 September 2021 - 14:30 to 16:30 - Providing canonical training materials for secure data facility professionals

Training researchers who want to access confidential, legally controlled data in data protection and statistical disclosure is a key part of ensuring the safe use of these data and an important task for secure data facility professionals. But developing suitable training materials can be resource intensive.

We have developed a set of canonical training materials that cover a wide range of relevant topics from understanding data access, the Five Safes framework to key statistical disclosure control principles. These materials are designed to be used by a wide range of safe data access facilities to form the basis of their researcher training programme. We have designed these materials so that individual facilities can adapt the content to suit the needs of their service and researchers with minimal additional resource requirements. 

During this virtual workshop we will discuss the format and development of the training materials and how we believe they could be adapted before presenting the materials themselves. These training materials are still in development, so we are keen to get feedback to enable us to further develop and improve them. Therefore, the workshop will close with a discussion session to allow attendees a chance to discuss the materials in small groups, and to allow presenters to gather valuable feedback.

This workshop will be particularly relevant to secure data facility professionals who currently deliver or who are considering delivering such training, or who have an interest in secure data access or statistical disclosure. We would also welcome participants who have experience in training.
