Better Security Better Care Programme

Data security deadline: 30 June 2022

Adult social care providers have until 30 June to complete their Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) for 2021/22. The toolkit enables providers to check and improve their current data and cyber security arrangements, meet their contract requirements and access NHS systems such as NHSmail and shared records. It is recognised by the NHS, local authorities and the CQC as evidence. But only if it is up to date.
