Review and update your DSPT – 1 month to go!

You may have received a reminder from the national DSPT team to complete your Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) ahead of the 30 June deadline.

If you haven’t started yet, now is a great time to log in and check your progress or register if you’re new to DSPT.

Top tip:

Make sure you’re registered correctly as a single site or multi-site organisation. This affects how you complete and publish your DSPT. If you’re not sure, this guidance can help.
