Details

The worksheet provides a list of data sources relevant to the licensing objectives as well as where this data is available and at what geographical granularity.

Many of the data sources are nationally available but the quality, regularity and availability of several datasets will vary depending on local practice.

Where data is available but not yet accessed by responsible authorities, it may be necessary to produce a data-sharing agreement to make sure data is exchanged securely and confidentially between organisations.

More information is available on data-sharing agreements and primary research.
