Description

If you are a VCSE organisation working as part of the South West London Integrated Care System and need to access NHS patient data and systems, you will be required to complete the Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) to provide assurance that you are practising good data security and that personal information is handled correctly.

The DSPT is an online self-assessment tool allowing you to measure your organisational performance against the National Data Guardian’s 10 data security standards. If you are not an IT security professional you may find this overwhelming and full of jargon!

Join us for an information session looking to demystify some of the terminology, signpost to useful resources and templates and answer any questions you may have.

Supported by the SWL VCSE Alliance - the session will also help us identify any further support VCSE organisations may need to comply with these important standards.

Am I eligible for this course?

This session is for VCSE organisations based in the South West London Integrated Care System (Croydon, Kingston, Merton, Richmond, Sutton, Wandsworth).

Is this course for me?

This session is for anyone who needs support to complete the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit.

Course format

Group introductory training webinar

This session is an online live-format webinar. As with all of Superhighways' online training, there will be some interactivity, which may include asking you to contribute to the chat, take part in polls or join a short breakout session for a conversation with other participants.

Joining by video will give you the best possible experience - but isn't essential throughout.

We may ask you to introduce yourselves. There will be a chance to ask questions.
