Technology & Digital Care in Social Care β€” A Complete 7-Part Guide


Technology and digital care are no longer optional extras in social care β€” they are commissioner expectations and inspection priorities. From digital care planning and assistive technology to cybersecurity and workforce confidence, providers are expected to show not just adoption but evidence of impact on safety, efficiency, and quality of life.

This seven-part blog series explores how providers can embed digital care in practice β€” from choosing and implementing systems to evidencing data, protecting information, supporting independence, and demonstrating value in tenders and inspections. Whether you’re preparing a learning disability tender, a domiciliary care bid, or a home care submission, these insights will help you demonstrate readiness, innovation, and resilience with confidence.
