Handling Information for Health and Social Care

People working in health and social care handle personal and sensitive information every day. How that information is recorded, stored, and shared has a direct impact on individual safety, trust, and the quality of care provided.

The Handling Information for Health and Social Care e-learning course offers a concise and practical overview of secure information handling. Using familiar, real-life scenarios, the course explains the importance of clear record keeping, safe storage, and knowing when information should be shared or protected.

Learners are introduced to their responsibilities under data protection legislation and guided through simple strategies to ensure information is handled correctly in day-to-day work. The course reinforces that working securely is everyone’s responsibility, regardless of role or seniority.

Designed as a short, accessible overview, this training is ideal for staff who need a clear understanding of information handling expectations in health or social care environments.
