Title:

Data Security Awareness

Description:

This session meets the statutory and mandatory training requirements, compliance and learning outcomes for Information Governance and Data Security in the Core Skills Training Framework (England) v1.1 and the Data Security and Protection Toolkit, which your organisation needs to comply with each year.

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.
