Towards a new model of essential digital support. New report that explores how young people find support online and sets out how to improve how essential digital services are provided. Was a pleasure working with the lovely team @CarefulTrouble on this

Our new report documents the experiences of disabled young people as they transition into adulthood. We spoke to parents who are fighting for their children to get support as they move into adulthood – when young people fall off the 'cliff-edge'.

“It always felt like everyone else was growing up faster than me and I was way behind.”

Our new report highlights the challenges faced by young people with SEND as they move from childhood to adulthood.

Please read and share it to show your support: https://t.co/iHBMWwVhBh

[Kids @KidsCharity]

For too many young people with SEND, the transition from childhood to adulthood is like falling off a cliff edge.

We’ve identified key recommendations and areas for action to improve transition support.

Please read and share the report 👇

Contributed to some new research on the cost of broadband - some pretty startling figures e.g. the poorest households spend proportionly 12 x more of their disposable income than the richest

Say It With Your Chest's closure is a big loss to the sector. But they've been able to leave a legacy and share their lessons from 5 years working with young people at risk of exclusion.

Been a privilege supporting @Sabbyjones to pull this together.

[Say It With Your Chest @SayWitYourChest]

We are happy to share months of hard work in the form of a white paper report and a handbook.

Although, this may be the end of Say It With Your Chest, we hope that our legacy can live on through the resources we have created.

Great to be involved in the launch of @unlockdigital_ a new initiative helping young Londoners access opportunities to develop #digitalskills.

Check out our new digital skills map of 300+ courses and opportunities to learn digital skills across #London https://t.co/nHN7Ah0ghZ

[Daniel Korski @DanielKorski]

A highlight of this morning’s @unlockdigital_ launch during @LDNTechWeek was to hear from Vivian Sunmola and Andrea Rodrigues about their unlikely journey into careers in technology.

Check out @unlockdigital_’s map of courses in London. And watch this space; more to come.

[Daniel Korski @DanielKorski]

Too many Londoners do not have access to the digital skills they need to succeed in life. I’m launching @unlockdigital_ to highlight the many great courses out there and to help Londoners get the skills needed to succeed. Check out the map for courses across London 💻👩🏽‍💻🧑‍🏫👨🏿‍🎓

[Chief Digital Officer for London @LDN_CDO]

Great to be at #Unlockdigital campaign to boost digital skills: over 300 local skills offers in London - how do they reach more Londoners?

[Will Bibby @Will_Bibby]

Excited for the launch of @unlockdigital_ a new initiative aiming to help close London's #digitalskills divide by increasing young Londoner's access to existing opportunities to learn digital skills

[Daniel Korski @DanielKorski]

I’m launching @unlockdigital_, a new initiative I’ve co-founded with Wol Kolade to help digitally upskill Londoners. 

Why? 

Because the MAJORITY of jobs today require digital skills and that number is increasing but the take-up of IT courses is declining yearly 1/4

[City A.M. @CityAM]

OPINION | Closing the digital divide is about more than helping London’s technology sector continue to thrive: it's about giving Londoners the tools to succeed, writes @DanielKorski
