Digital Health Checks support care providers check if their data protection and cyber security arrangements are working in practice.

The check gives you practical, judgement-free support from someone who understands adult social care. You will get clear recommendations to help you improve how your service uses data and technology.

Adult social care is becoming digital by default. Care services are using more digital systems, holding more data and sharing information with more partners. This can bring real benefits for care, safety and joined-up support, but it also makes it even more important to keep personal information safe.
