This workshop uses practical and discussion-based training to guide researchers about identifying what constitutes sensitive data, the risks of working with sensitive data, and how to appropriately manage those risks. It covers the 'Five Safes' framework and researchers' responsibilities, and introduces ways to promote data security and mitigate disclosure risks.

• Assess a project using the ‘Five Safes’ framework and use the ‘Five Safes’ in different types of projects
• Recognise the role of training and governance when working with sensitive data
• Identify where to store sensitive data and use a risk assessment process within the ‘Five Safes’ framework
• Identify and mitigate disclosure risk within a research project
• Discover where to get further advice and help when working with sensitive data
