Data users of the Secure Data Environment
About the North East and North Cumbria Secure Data Environment
The North East and North Cumbria Secure Data Environment is currently under development, with a technical platform already in place. The governance structure that will support the programme is being developed and is expected to be operational in early 2025.
We are also developing our data request and enquiry processes and will be moving towards a more structured approach in the future. Several test projects are currently using the Secure Data Environment platform to access and use data. Until the regional governance is fully established, data requests and approvals are managed on a case-by-case basis.
