Data Security and Data Retention Policy 

The Data Security and Data Retention Policy Template provides a comprehensive framework to help social care providers safeguard personal and sensitive information in line with the Data Protection Act 2018, UK GDPR, and sector-specific regulations. This template supports organisations in developing clear procedures for how data is collected, stored, accessed, shared, and securely disposed of, including timeframes for retention based on legal, safeguarding, and operational requirements. It helps providers demonstrate accountability, protect the rights of children, families, and staff, and ensure data handling practices are transparent, lawful, and proportionate across all areas of care.
