The Care Social Podcast Ep13: What Social Care Providers Need to Know About Cyber Security and AI – with Michelle Corrigan

May 13, 2025

Cyber security is no longer a future concern – it’s a challenge facing social care providers right now.

In this episode of The Care Social podcast, we speak to Michelle Corrigan, Programme Director at Digital Care Hub and NHS Cyber Leader of the Year, about the real risks – and opportunities – of going digital in social care.

Michelle explains why data security matters so much in care, how AI is really being used, and what providers can do today to improve their cyber resilience, meet DSPT requirements, and protect the people they support.

In this episode:

  • What cyber security means for social care providers
  • How to protect personal care data from cyber threats
  • Simple steps to improve digital safety and readiness
  • What AI can and can’t do in a care setting
  • Why completing the Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) is so important – and easier than you think

This is a must-listen for registered managers, care home owners, supported living providers, and anyone interested in safer digital care.
