Completing the Data Security and Protection Toolkit for the first time: The Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) is an online self-assessment tool to help adult social care providers in England to store and share information safely. It shows you what you need to do to keep people’s information safe, and to protect your business from the risk of a data breach or a cyber attack. It covers both paper and digital records. It also reassures everyone you work with that you are taking data security seriously, which in turn can open up access to NHSmail and shared records systems such as GP Connect and proxy access. Care providers must have an up-to-date DSPT in place to meet NHS contracts – and local authorities and CQC inspectors increasingly expect you to have it. Care providers should complete the toolkit at least once a year. It will cover how to:

• Register for the DSPT – including how to register if you have multiple services and sites
• Complete to Approaching Standards and Standards Met
• Publish your DSPT
• Access free, official support from the Better Security, Better Care programme.

OS Virtual Meeting: The Power of Language in Social Care

Thursday 21 May | 1.00–2.00pm

Join The Outstanding Society for an engaging virtual meeting exploring the power of language in social care and how the words we use every day can shape experiences, relationships and outcomes for people who draw on support.

Language is far more than communication—it influences culture, identity, dignity and trust. In social care settings, the way we describe people, situations and support can reinforce strengths, promote inclusion, or unintentionally create barriers. This interactive online session will shine a light on why language matters and how conscious, compassionate communication can make a real and meaningful difference.

Whether you work directly in social care, lead teams, influence policy, or simply want to deepen your understanding of person-centred practice, this hour-long virtual meeting offers a valuable opportunity to reflect, learn and connect. Attendees will explore practical examples of how language shapes care, share perspectives with peers from across the sector, and take away ideas they can apply in their own practice.

Hosted by The Outstanding Society, which brings together a growing community of care professionals and leaders, this session forms part of their ongoing programme of events focused on quality, leadership and continuous improvement in care.

Key details at a glance:

• Event: OS Virtual Meeting – The Power of Language in Social Care
• Date: Thursday 21 May
• Time: 1.00–2.00pm (GMT+1)
• Format: Online

Don’t miss this chance to pause, reflect and rediscover how powerful our words can be. Join the conversation and be part of shaping more thoughtful, respectful and person-centred social care.
