We have published a new short report:‘Learning from Lockdown: 12 Steps to Eliminate Digital Exclusion’.
Since the outbreak of Covid-19 the scale of digital exclusion in the UK has been exposed and exacerbated beyond previous understanding. While new initiatives have been rapidly and successfully delivered, substantially accelerating progress and ensuring thousands of individuals now have appropriate digital access, there is still much more to be done to ensure no one in the UK is left digitally excluded.
In our new report, we set out a series of 12 recommendations calling for ambitious action from policy makers, practitioners, academia and industry.
The recommendations build on our work on digital inclusion over the past decade, and particularly draw on learning and reflections from the coronavirus outbreak and lockdown period. We look forward to discussing and pursuing these recommendations with interested individuals and organisations.
You can read the report here and follow the hashtag #12stepsfordigital on Twitter to join the conversation.
Kind regards,
