Research aims to provide evidence of best ways to engage marginalised groups with digital skills training
There are currently 12.6 million people in the UK who dont possess basic digital skills - the know-how to use the internet, access services online, search for information, shop online and connect with others. Half of disabled people and 42% of people on an income of less than 12,500 a year do not use the internet. A lack of digital skills means that many people are unable to access public services which are now offered digitally, such as GP services and the NHS Choices website; as well as missing out on online learning and the ability to search and apply for jobs online.
