The application form is to be used where a researcher wishes to access data to undertake a research project within the ONS Secure Research Service, within the Justice Micro Data Lab (JMDL), within their own secure setting through a Data Sharing Agreement, or to collect it directly from HMCTS personnel.

Please complete all relevant fields in the application form and provide all required documentation. This is a modular form and the data you are requesting and how you would like to access it will dictate what sections of the application you are required to fill in. Please see the ‘Application form for secure access to data’ document to see what sections you are required to fill in. There is also supplementary guidance that gives you details on how to answer each question.
