Title:

Data Security Awareness - Level 1

Description:

This Data Security Awareness Level 1 session meets the statutory and mandatory training requirements and learning outcomes for Information Governance in the UK Core Skills Training Framework (UK CSTF) as updated in May 2018 to include General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).

This session is also aligned to the new data security standards that came out of the National Data Guardian's 2016 review. It therefore meets the requirement for Level 1 staff training in data security.

Users can choose to view the knowledge chapters and then will need to complete and pass the eAssessment to demonstrate the required knowledge and understanding and to complete the course. A user's training record will be updated with their eAssessment score. If users feel that they have the necessary knowledge, they can skip straight to the eAssessment without completing the knowledge chapters first.

A separate Data Security Awareness Survey is also available alongside the new course. This survey has been developed by NHS Digital to assist organisations in understanding the data security awareness of its staff. Local administrators will have access to a report detailing the outcomes of the survey to facilitate IG Toolkit submissions.
