Build trust
We’re ensuring transparency, accountability, and security so that researchers, data custodians, and the public have confidence in how sensitive data is accessed and used for research.
Trust is the cornerstone of sensitive data research. Without it, collaboration stalls, public confidence weakens, and the potential of data is left unrealised.
TREvolution is working to strengthen governance, security and transparency so that confidence is earned and maintained throughout the research process. This includes making decision-making processes open, ensuring accountability through oversight, and providing channels for feedback. It also means assuring Trusted Research Environments (TREs) that interactions with other environments are safe, underpinned by agreed governance frameworks and shared protections.
For researchers, this means clearer, fairer systems that support their work and remove unnecessary barriers. For data custodians, it means being confident that they can collaborate securely with other Trusted Research Environments (TREs) without putting the data they hold at risk. And for the public, it means knowing that their data is safeguarded, used responsibly and delivering benefits for society.
Trust must extend in all directions: between environments, from institutions to researchers, and most importantly, with the public whose data enables research in the first place. By embedding co-production, openness, accountability and security, TREvolution is building trust, ensuring that stakeholders and the public are involved and can participate with confidence.
As technologies and expectations change, TREvolution will continue to consult widely, renewing stakeholder feedback and building trust as a living, evolving principle at the heart of research.
