Good morning,
Thank you for registering with the Data Security and Protection Toolkit(DSPT). We've noticed that while your organisation has successfully registered, your DSPT submission has not yet been published.
Publishing your DSPT is a vital step in demonstrating your commitment to data security and compliance with national standards. It is also a regulatory requirement.
Central and local government bodies, local authority and ICB commissioners, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), and the National Data Guardian recognise the DSPT as the official tool to evaluate your compliance with legal requirements, data security standards, and good practice.
If your services are funded by the NHS — for example, under continuing healthcare — there is a contractual requirement to complete the DSPT annually.
All adult social care services in England, including residential and nursing homes, supported living, homecare, extra care, shared lives, and day services, are strongly recommended to complete the DSPT. It’s increasingly what local authorities, ICBs, and the CQC expect to see.
It also ensures that your organisation is recognised as meeting the requirements for handling personal data securely.
What you need to do:
- Log in to your DSPT account
- Complete any outstanding sections
- Publish your submission as soon as possible
If you need support or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can also find guidance and resources on the Digital Care Hub
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
