Demonstrating trustworthiness is a major motivator behind this - @UKStatsAuth are rigorous and the standard is specific to TREs so is meaningful and covers all aspects of what we do. A true and rigorous independent audit - not for the fainthearted, but crucial to building trust.
Replying to @UKLLCollab
The independent auditing of TRE’s, such as @UKLLCollab, is a vital safeguard that members of the public have consistently said is essential when it comes being considered as worthy of their trust. 3/5

A great blog from #DAREUK on the importance of transparency, public involvement and engagement and public benefit when it comes to use of data: dareuk.org.uk/trustworthines… We agree, and work with public contributors to make sure UK LLC enables public benefit research.

Really pleased to see my @ESRC report 'Population Data for Inclusive Research' published bit.ly/3JPeUUD. Longitudinal research needs to do more to ensure our data and research is inclusive of harder-to-reach groups #DiversityInData
