Sensitive data curation: evidence-based skills and training landscape for stakeholders

The Skills for the Curation of Sensitive Data report provides an evidence-based snapshot of current skills gaps, training provision, and barriers in sensitive data curation. It draws on surveys, focus groups, and interviews with curators, TRE/SDE/Safe Haven operators, governance specialists, and training providers across multiple sectors and data types. Building on this evidence, here we present targeted, actionable recommendations for stakeholders, recognising that individuals may operate across multiple roles and that different groups hold distinct levers to influence change, making collaboration and coordinated action essential to address sensitive data curation skills and training needs effectively.
