LinCA are the local support officers for Lincolnshire, helping adult social care providers to store and share information safely. This includes both paper and digital records and focuses on helping social care providers to complete the Data Security and Protection Toolkit – the annual online self-assessment.

We will help you to evaluate and improve your data and cyber security. This will allow you to reassure the people you support and their families, your staff, commissioners, regulators, and health and care partners that you are following good practice and meeting legal and regulatory requirements.

You don’t have to be a data or digital expert to get support. The programme can support you – wherever you are on your data security journey.
