Join us for an interactive café to help shape the future of SACRO (Semi-Automated Confidentiality Review Operations)—a modular engine supporting research output checking for statistical disclosure control in secure data environments.

As automation plays an increasing role in safeguarding confidential data, it’s vital that SACRO evolves to meet the real-world needs of its users. This event will bring together researchers, output checkers, and other stakeholders to identify core functionality needs, explore context-specific constraints, and collaboratively prioritise development pathways.

Whether you’re a researcher, data custodian, or output checker, your insights will help guide SACRO’s roadmap and uncover opportunities for pilot collaborations, shared use cases, or module contributions.

What to expect:

  • Introduction to SACRO and its current capabilities
  • Breakout discussions tailored for researchers and output checkers
  • Prioritisation of key features and development needs
  • Plenary session to share insights and explore next steps

Speakers: Elizabeth Green, Prof Jim Smith, Dr Amanda Ramsay

Who should attend: Researchers, TRE operators, and anyone involved in output checking (whether manual or automated) and members of the public with an interest.
