Accessing data
Direct download is the normal delivery method for public data. Additional conditions apply only where they are necessary.
- Public data
Download the published version and its documentation directly from the study page. - Access on request
Submit a request from the study page; the intended use and applicable conditions are shown before submission. - Highly sensitive data
Delivery is arranged individually and may require a controlled environment or, exceptionally, secure physical media.
A simple route
- Find the study and review its metadata and variables.
- Check the access level of the required version.
- Download directly or complete the indicated request.
- Follow the licence, cite the version used and protect the data throughout the project.
CDs are not a routine dissemination method. They may be considered only for strictly restricted or confidential data when this is the safest agreed solution.
