GDPR in Residential Care

In residential care, safeguarding personal data is just as vital as safeguarding wellbeing. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) exists to protect the privacy rights of individuals—and that includes every resident, visitor, and staff member.

Why it Matters!

• Respect and dignity: Residents entrust us with deeply personal information—medical history, family details, preferences. GDPR ensures we treat this with care and respect.
• Legal and ethical responsibility: Care providers are considered data controllers. That means we're legally accountable for how data is handled.
• Trust and transparency: Families and residents must feel confident that their information is safe.

Every staff member is a guardian of privacy. If you’re unsure whether something is OK to share or record—pause and ask. GDPR isn't about red tape. It’s about empathy, safety, and respect.
