Our Mission is to Understand the Effects of the UK's Digital Divide on:

01 The Labour Market

The importance of digital skills for finding work and career progression. 

02 Health and Healthcare

The interplay between digital skills and health outcomes.

03  Civic Participation

How a lack of digital literacy can limit participation in the public sphere and political discussions.

"For the UK to be a world-leading digital economy that works for everyone, it is crucial that everyone has the digital skills they need to fully participate in society."
