Digital Skills: Being Safe and Secure Online Overview

Care workers handle sensitive information every day, and knowing how to protect it online matters as much as any other professional skill.

Mapped to Theme 5 of the Adult Social Care Digital Skills Framework and also part of our wider Digital Skills bundle, the course is designed to build practical confidence rather than just awareness. CPD-certified and delivered fully online in around 40 minutes, it's suitable for care staff working in or moving towards digitally enabled environments.
