We’re hosting an easy-to-digest and engaging webinar on one of the most undiscussed (and let’s face it, quite dry) topics for the early years sector — data security and compliance.

While it’s a vitally important consideration on a nursery manager’s radar, it’s often not really talked about — particularly in jargon-free plain English. We’re here to help change that.

We recently ran a survey — in collaboration with nursery insurance specialist dot2dot — to find out how the sector feels about data security and compliance.

This saw 137 nursery managers and owners across the UK share insight into their experiences of keeping essential information safe – and the cyber security concerns or worries that they face.

Our webinar — Data Security in the Early Years — will address some of the core themes uncovered in the survey, to help owners and senior personnel feel more confident and upskilled.
