"For research projects accredited under the Digital Economy Act 2017, researchers are unable to link datasets in the SRS based on direct identifiers as all data are de-identified before they come into the environment. We do not offer a service to link datasets using direct identifiers on a project by project basis - the only exception is for IDBR data. Researchers are welcome to make a request for datasets to be linked by the ONS if they can demonstrate that there is a wider research benefit beyond their individual project. If a request is agreed, we will create the linked dataset internally and then transfer the de-identified version to the SRS so that all accredited researchers are able to make a project application to use it. Researchers wanting to make a request for a linked dataset should contact adrcuration@ons.gov.uk to discuss their requirements."
