Lessons learned in training safe users of confidential data Presentation by Felix Ritchie Professor of Applied Economics Director, Bristol Centre for Economics and Finance 2019 version: based on Green et al, 2017 Date
How to train users of confidential data Confidential data users o can t be trusted (all potential intruders ) o don t care about data protection o do want to know the law o aren t interested in the nuances of confidentiality Therefore we need to o teach them the legal framework o give clear unambiguous rules o ensure awareness of consequences This also protects the data holder o misuse only arises from deliberate flouting of rules o (as long as we have covered everything relevant )
How to train users of confidential data In short, the ideal course o frightens the user with knowledge of consequences o instructs the user in the rules of data use o authorises the user to use data, and then o transfers responsibility to the user Q: Are we missing anything? A: Everything important about o data access o pedagogy o human psychology
How to train users of confidential data Confidential data users o can t be trusted (all potential intruders ) o don t care about data protection o do want to know the law o aren t interested in the nuances of confidentiality No No No No Therefore we need to o teach them the legal framework o give clear unambiguous rules o ensure awareness of consequences Nnn Nnnnn Nnnnnnno ish. Sort of yes No no no no no no no no no This also protects the data holder o misuse only arises from deliberate flouting of rules o (as long as we have covered everything relevant )
What do we know about researchers? Trustworthy Well-intentioned Predominately intrinsically motivated Human
What do we know about psychology? The information we hear is affected by our o motivations o social environment o preconceptions Rationalisation preferred to rationality
What do we know about teaching? Interaction better than lectures Self-discovery better than instruction Very low retention of facts
Training users of confidential data more effectively Assume researchers are o there because they have to be o expecting to learn facts/rules o focused on themselves/their research careers But they are also o sensible, intelligent and willing to engage o able to hold complex discussions on nuanced topics o annoyed by being seen as untrustworthy o uninterested in and unlikely to retain detail o human
General course aims Learning to think about data access o Not learning the right answer Building confidence by o relevant examples o grounded discussion of evidence Develop sense of community o different pressures on different organisations o role of the support team Develop ethics/logic of data management o not the legal aspects Technical SDC stuff
General lessons learned Multiple tutors possible even without script o tutors prefer flexibility o test results don t seem sensitive to tutor Tutor s confidence very important o needs to be comfortable being challenged Tutor s knowledge less important On paper, the course scares risk-averse data owners o regular requests for more law/ethics/procedures etc o self-defence rather than pedagogy still dominates
Old versus new New o be fraternal o educate o encourage reflection o be open about risk o change attitudes o share responsibility o interact Old o frighten o instruct o authorize o transfer responsibility F E R R A R I F I A T Questions? felix.ritchie@uwe.ac.uk elizabeth7.green@uwe.ac.uk adil.Deedat@ons.gov.uk
