April 9th 2026
We are excited to share our latest series of free webinars for April and May, designed to support you with the digital and data challenges facing adult social care right now. (These are in addition to our regular webinars on completing the DSPT.)
The webinars are a real opportunity to hear directly from key people across the sector. You will hear from experts and care leaders who are working through the same issues as you, giving you practical insight you can actually use. You will also have the chance to ask questions and learn from real experiences, not just theory.
Whether you are building digital skills, strengthening your approach to data protection, or exploring new technology, there is something here for you and your team.
