Accessing the VML
Research applications for the VML go through four stages:
-
researchers send in an application form
-
the application needs to be approved by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and by any other relevant data providers
-
contracts are drawn up and signed
-
training is given, if necessary
Once all these stages have been passed, researchers can book time in the VML and start using the data.
