Answer DSPT questions

In order to reach Standards Met on the Data Security and Protection Toolkit, care providers need to answer 43 mandatory questions covering:

• Staffing and roles
• Policies and procedures
• Data security 
• IT systems and devices 

We have provided the following to help you complete each section:

• short videos on answering questions about those topics
• ‘tool tips’ including what the questions mean, what you need to have in place, and what evidence you need to gather
• template policies and forms that you can download and adapt
• useful links, including training materials and background information.

You can use this information to complete your DSPT for the first time OR to review, update and republish. Remember, you must complete the DSPT at least once a year in order to keep it up to date. The deadline is 30 June.
