We can’t expect staff to be able to spot phishing emails or to know how to create strong passwords without cyber awareness training. While a minority of cyber-attacks are caused by malicious staff, the majority are due to basic human error. Many phishing emails, for example, are very convincing. By training our staff we can set them up for success.

The Better Security, Better Care programme provides national and local support and training to help care providers to complete the Data Security and Protection Toolkit.
