The deadline to complete and publish your Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) for 2024/25 is fast approaching. You may have already received a reminder from the national DSPT team — if not, consider this your prompt to act now.
Check your status today
Log in to your DSPT account to ensure your submission is up to date and published for the current year. If you haven’t registered yet, there’s still time to do so and begin your submission.
Registering correctly matters
Make sure your organisation is registered correctly as either a single-site or multi-site provider, as this impacts how you complete and publish your DSPT. Not sure which applies? Use this guidance to check.
Why it’s important
The CQC now expects providers to have a current DSPT in place and may ask about it during inspections, under the Governance, Management & Sustainability Quality Statement.
Completing your DSPT demonstrates your commitment to data protection, GDPR compliance, and managing information securely — a vital part of providing safe and effective care.
