Growing up in England - Online

This course is run as a collaboration between the National Centre for Research Methods and Administrative Data Research UK and is part of a series on short courses on administrative data.

The aim of the course is to provide an introduction to the Growing Up in England (GUiE) dataset. GUiE is a flagship ADR dataset and provides a link between 2011 Census data and longitudinal administrative data from the education and children’s social care systems.

The course provides an introduction and overview of GUiE including:

• The different component datasets that are brought together in GUiE
• Waves and linkage methods
• Coverage, years and gaps
• Strengths and limitations
• Exemplar analysis
• The application process, documentation and support

By the end of the course participants will:

• Be familiar with the structure of GUiE
• Understand the content, coverage and years of the GUiE Waves 1-3 data
• Be aware of the strengths and limitations of the data available
• Be aware of existing studies and analysis using GUiE
• Have knowledge of GUiE documentation 
• Understand the application process, conditions of use and where to go for further information and support

Knowledge of administrative data research datasets and SDC processes would be helpful but are not essential. This is an introductory course and prior knowledge of or experience using GUiE is not required. 

PLEASE NOTE THIS COURSE IS BEING TAUGHT OVER TWO MORNINGS (10:00-13:00) AND EQUATES TO ONE TEACHING DAY FOR PAYMENT PURPOSES.
