SDE Team Development Hub

Building Capacity and Capability for UK Secure Data Environments.

The SDE Team Development Hub is a collaboration between like-minded individuals that aims to find better ways to develop and support Research Technical Professionals (RTPs) that underpin the creation of Secure Data Environments (SDEs).

We aim to achieve this by:

i. Directly increasing capacity through recruitment of RTPs into existing teams developing SDEs in the Northwest of England.

ii. Supporting the career development of RTPs through the creation of a competency framework. We are working with the SDE community to define the key competencies that should be attained at different stages of an RTP’s career in secure data environments.

iii. Supporting the training of RTPs by developing a curriculum that highlights training and sources of experience that can be used to achieve career progression against the competency framework.

iv. Facilitating direct training and certification of new and existing RTPs that work on the creation of secure data environments.

v. Developing an online resource to share our outputs and experience with the wider SDE community.
