It’s easy to read and very thorough!
Questionnaire time! The questionnaire is online and features 24 true or false questions. Quite simply, if you’ve read the User document, you’ll get them all right.
Your answers are submitted online and, when usa rcs data these have been checked, you will receive automatic confirmation that you have passed (or failed!) If you have passed, you can then make a booking to use a SafePod.
Booking was easy and clear: I selected which SafePod I wanted to use and selected a slot from the pod’s calendar. At this point, you must enter all the relevant information for that booking.
For example, I needed my UK Data Service SecureLab project number and title, and all requests for the SafePod that day e.g. the number of researchers to enter the SafePod (you are allowed up to 2 at any one booking), use of the whiteboard, and any additional devices.
what you will realistically need, it’s probably less than you think!
When this was completed and submitted, it was checked by the Data Centre requested (the UK Data Service in my case).
If they’re happy, you will receive confirmation of your booking soon (it says it’ll take up to 3 days, for me it only took 5 hours).
As well as this confirmation, I also received an email from the York SafePod team, confirming my booking and welcoming me to the SafePod.
