MoJ Data First Datasets User Training (Webinar session 1 of 3)
How to access Ministry of Justice (MoJ) datasets via SAIL Databank
Course description:
This first session is aimed at individuals interested in applying for access to linked Ministry of Justice (MoJ) datasets within the SAIL Databank Trusted Research Environment (TRE). The webinar is designed to enhance your skills in gaining access to valuable MoJ datasets. These sessions of the Dataset Users Webinar Series are themed around Courts & Justice and will help you to begin your journey towards accessing Ministry of Justice (MoJ) datasets via the SAIL Databank. These interactive sessions will allow for open discussion with panel members. Participants will need to register to attend one, two or all three of the sessions individually.
