As the person within the team whose responsibility it is to carry out desk based research, I thought it is about time to share with you what I find, and find useful, regarding the digital agenda.
I am not an expert or even a researcher by trade – but I enjoy looking, have quite a lot of luck at finding useful material and my colleagues have cottoned on to this fact (and it is in my job description!).
The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) released the responses this week to the Digital Inclusion Action Plan consultation that have been collated over the last 3 months. 99 responses were received in all, a fairly small number considering it was a national consultation – but that has not affected the amount of information DCLG and Paul Murphy MP (Minister for Digital Inclusion) has had to go through.
The resounding agreement of all to the consultation was the fact that digital inclusion is inextricably linked to social inclusion, improving one area would inevitably improve the other.
