The UK government has launched the Digital Inclusion Action Plan: First Steps, aiming to bridge the digital divide and ensure everyone benefits from technological advancements.
The 4 key areas of focus are:
Opening up opportunities through skills
Tackling data and device poverty
Breaking down barriers to digital services
Building confidence
This comprehensive approach aims to reduce digital exclusion, enabling more people to benefit from online services and participate fully in the digital economy. The plan prioritises five groups: young people, older adults, individuals with disabilities, those currently unemployed, and low-income households.
