Digital inclusion

We live in a digital world, but some people remain excluded. Digital inclusion is the process of providing the tools and access for those that are excluded. This can include motivation, devices, connectivity or building skills and confidence. It also requires our services to be designed in a way that make digital access possible for everyone.

We can all play a role in supporting digital inclusion. In this section you’ll find a range of support and resources to support your organisation.
