Data Security & Protection Toolkit (DSPT) 

Digital Care Hub - Run by social care providers for social care providers.

LinCA are the local support officers for Lincolnshire, to help adult social care providers to store and share information safely. Both paper and digital records, focusing on helping social care providers to complete the Data Security and Protection Toolkit – the annual, online self-assessment.

We will help you to evaluate and improve your data and cyber security. This means you can reassure the people you support and their families, your staff, commissioners, regulators, and health and care partners, that you are following good practice – and meeting legal and regulatory requirements.

You do not have to be a data or digital expert to get support. The programme can support you – wherever you are on your data security journey.
