Work with The Link Lab.
The Link Lab works with organisations, research teams, educators and public bodies who want to build genuine understanding of data linkage. Every collaboration is shaped around what you need.
Ways to work together.
The Link Lab can support you in the following ways. If what you need is not listed here, get in touch — we are open to new collaborations.
🎲
Game pilots
Run The Linkmaster’s Dilemma with your team, cohort or community. We facilitate the session, guide the debrief and tailor the framing to your context.
🏫
Workshops
Facilitated learning sessions on data linkage, data quality, bias and governance. Designed for mixed audiences — no statistical background required.
📚
Teaching collaborations
We work with universities, further education colleges and training programmes to develop curricula and teaching materials on data linkage and responsible data use.
🔬
Research translation
We help research teams make their work on data linkage accessible — to policymakers, funders, communities and the media — without sacrificing accuracy.
📣
Public engagement design
We design and deliver public engagement activities for projects that need communities to understand how their data is being used or linked.
🧭
Advisory work
We advise organisations on how to communicate about data linkage clearly and responsibly — including governance documents, public-facing materials and consultation processes.
🌍
International partnerships
The Link Lab’s resources are designed to be adaptable across national contexts. We welcome partnerships with organisations working on data linkage education, governance or public engagement internationally.
🤝
