Preparing for a Cyber Incident: Tools and Tips for the Care Sector



23 March 2026

12.00pm  - 1.00pm

Cyber incidents can be worrying and disruptive for any care service - but being prepared makes all the difference. Join us for part 3 of our CRC Network Care Cyber Series, delivered in partnership with Care Providers Alliance and Care England.

This webinar will show care providers practical ways to assess your current cyber resilience, prepare your team, and plan what to do if an incident occurs. Using free tools such as the National Cyber Security Centre's (NCSC) My Cyber Action Toolkit, Police Cyber Alarm, Cyber PATH, you’ll learn how to identify gaps, test your response, and take clear next steps. 

No technical expertise is required - the session is designed to be accessible, practical, and relevant for everyone in the care sector.
