In busy care environments, it’s increasingly common for staff to use personal phones, messaging apps like WhatsApp, or even personal email to communicate and share information. But these everyday habits can carry serious risks – from accidental data breaches to reputational damage and loss of trust.
This free police-led webinar is designed to help you understand how personal technology use affects your organisation’s data security, and what steps you can take to stay safe, compliant, and in control. This essential session attendees learnt how to best protect your care setting from cyber crime.
What they learnt:
- Why personal device use is risky – real-world examples from care settings
- Safe data sharing practices – how to handle sensitive information securely – whether with families, local authorities, or NHS partners.
- Risks of social media and messaging apps – why tools like WhatsApp and Facebook can create vulnerabilities, even with the best intentions.
- What your policy should include – the key points every organisation should cover when allowing personal device use at work.
