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.

The Scottish National Safe Haven provides a governed trusted research environment for accredited researchers to work on approved projects of public benefit using sensitive data. The service is operated by EPCC as part of the EIDF infrastructure but is controlled by Public Health Scotland under the oversight of Scotland's Public Benefit and Privacy Panel.
