Purpose limitation
Data collected for one purpose cannot be used for another.
Data minimisation
Only collect what is necessary for the stated purpose.

Why GDPR matters for care providers
Special category data — Health and care data is classified as special category data under UK GDPR, requiring additional safeguards and explicit consent frameworks.
ICO enforcement — Fines of up to £17.5 million or 4% of global turnover can be issued for serious breaches. Non-compliance can also trigger CQC concerns.
Staff data obligations — Employee records, DBS checks, and occupational health data all fall under GDPR and must be handled correctly.
Third-party contracts — Data sharing with councils, NHS bodies, and software providers requires data processing agreements and due diligence.
