The UK Data Service, established on 1 October 2012, is a national data service for social and economic data structured to support researchers in academia, business, third sector and all levels of government, funded by the ESRC. The service provides a unified point of access to the extensive range of high quality economic and social data, including valuable census data. It is designed to provide seamless access and support to meet the current and future research demands of both academic and non-academic users, and to help them maximise the impact of their work. The service integrates several long-established data services including the Economic and Social Data Service (ESDS), the Census Programme, the Secure Data Service along with other elements of the data service infrastructure currently provided by the ESRC.
