We're launching the #EssentialDigitalSkills for Work report, developed in partnership with @LBGplc - providing the most detailed view yet of who’s embracing digital and who’s being left behind, inc. levels of digital confidence by sector, business size, region and more.
“No one policy or organisation can fix all the problems young people face digitally.” Access, connectivity, skills, safety, wellbeing, motivation are equally important is the sentiment of the panel chaired by @shionamc and audience here at @Nominet#DigitalYouthIndex
"Young doesn't mean included.. Just like old doesn't mean excluded. We have to dig beneath the surface and our assumptions and their experiences with digital" @KiraAllmann on using the #digitalyouthindex research from last year @DigiPovAlliance review https://t.co/Wltucrj7rx
Online safety is vital, and so important it’s a core part of curriculum. The digital world can be a brilliant place to build a community, but doing that in a safe and positive way is key #digitalyouthindex
Brilliant youth panel hosted by @KiraAllmann bringing to life some of the challenges young people are facing into when it comes to accessibility of devices and data amidst rising costs

@AvantiWestCoast plz sort out 1) your terrible wifi (if we can get 4g on the jubilee line then you can manage this) and 2) install charging points at all seats. Even buses have USBs now. You need to prioritise upgrading your old trains (not just putting new stickers/ branding on)
Since launching, our free digital helpline has enabled vulnerable customers to get access to online banking & stay connected to family & friends.
