Information governance (IG) often feels like a behind-the-scenes activity: policies, toolkits, checklists, and tick boxes.

Creating a true culture of IG awareness means going beyond training once a year. It means embedding safe data handling into the mindset and habits of every staff member, from the newest receptionist to the longest-serving GP. This guide shows how to shift your practice culture from compliance to confidence - where staff act safely not because they’ve been told to, but because it feels natural.
