EPCC manages a Trusted Research Environment (TRE) through which independent organisations can provide Safe Haven Services. The EPCC TRE operates under the guidance of the Five Safes framework. It offers a secure data sharing and analysis environment that allows researchers access to sensitive, including special category data, under the terms and conditions prescribed by the data providers. Scottish National Safe Haven We provide the infrastructure and operational systems that underpin the Scottish National Safe Haven. The National Safe Haven is owned by Public Health Scotland and governed by the eDRIS team who control access and manage all research enquiries. Specialised Safe Haven Services EPCC hosts Safe Haven Services through its Trusted Research Environment to enable researchers from specialised fields to access public sensitive data to perform studies with a public benefit. Private Safe Haven Services EPCC manages a Trusted Research Environment through which it provides organisations with Private Safe Haven Services. We facilitate these Safe Haven Services within our secure perimeter where each safe haven is isolated from all other safe havens. Each safe haven is governed independently by the respective organisation.
