AI in Adult Social Care: Opportunities, Hidden Risks and Safe Management

FREE 1 hour Introduction

3 September 2026

11.00am-12.00pm (Online)


This 1‑hour briefing shows care leaders where AI in care is already appearing, the real benefits it can offer, and the risks it creates—especially around care notes, confidentiality, inaccurate wording, and over‑reliance on tools. It explains why staff must not use public chatbots for client records and what managers need to put in place now to ensure safe boundaries and proper oversight.


Data Standards: Staying Compliant as the Home Office Goes Digital webinar

17 September 2026

11.30am  - 12.30pm

Online - FREE

This session explains how the Home Office’s shift to digital immigration processes is reshaping sponsor‑licence compliance for care providers, highlighting where digital right‑to‑work checks, eVisas and UKVI’s real‑time systems can still leave organisations exposed. Borderless and Digital Care Hub outline where data protection and sponsor compliance overlap, where gaps can become category‑A breaches, and what managers must verify when checks run through third‑party platforms rather than their own systems.
