Digital access is essential for family life but 3.7million households with children don't meet the Minimum Digital Living Standard. This is a complex issue - how can we work together and use this research to tackle this? @MinDigiLiving

Final reflections from @CamdenCouncil how can we quantify #MDLS for an accurate measurement? Can we use #MDLS as a catalyst - who has a role where? How can we network effectively to make the greatest impact? Let’s push through these barriers ‘We’re all in this together’

[Emma Stone @Emma_Stone2020]

Room is buzzing with ideas about how to use the MDLS to support change and digital inclusion

‘One size doesn’t fit all’ digital interventions so far haven’t solved the issue, the #MDLS is a much needed next step to fill the gaps @Smartlyte

[Minimum Digital Living Standard @MinDigiLiving]

What does MDLS mean for policy and practice? Time to hear from the panellists #MDLS @Nominet @VirginMoney @Smartlyte @MinDigiLiving @Emma_Stone2020

Fascinating talk by @alexsingleton visualising the #MDLS data through maps @CommediaLivUni @MinDigiLiving @livunigeog @CDRC_UK @geodatascience

#MDLS @sjyates key predictors of NOT meeting the MDLS are social class, deprivation, being a single-parent home, having more than 2 kids in the home, unemployment, being on benefits, being non-White, having a long-term health issue or disability, and living outside London.

#MDLS @sjyates In 24% of households, only the children hold the required skills, and in 5% neither children nor adults meet the required skill levels @MinDigiLiving

[Minimum Digital Living Standard @MinDigiLiving]

#MDLS @sjyates Only 62% of UK households with children are likely to have all the basic functional and critical skills @MinDigiLiving

[Minimum Digital Living Standard @MinDigiLiving]

#MDLS @sjyates Stated that at best 81% of UK households with children have the necessary equipment and services they need. 19% lack enough equipment for all family members' needs or have poor services. @MinDigiLiving
