SafePod Network

Welcome to the safepod network

The SafePod Network (SPN) provides a major step change in the way that administrative and other sensitive datasets can be accessed and used for research purposes.

The major function of the SPN is the operation of a network of independent standardised safe settings (known as SafePodsand SafePoints) based at higher education institutions and other organisations across the UK.  All SafePods and SafePoints operate under the same policies and procedures and provide accredited researchers with access to their project data from Data Centres that have joined the SPN, which includes the Office for National Statistics and the UK Data Service.

LATEST NEWS: LSE SAFEPOINT HUB LAUNCH!

The SafePod Network (SPN) is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, which is part of UK Research and Innovation.
