[cma-l] Fwd: Tackling Digital Exclusion - New Case Studies

[Jaqui Devereux]

Dear all

Please see below details of this new report from the Carnegie Trust, happy
reading!

Dear Jaqui

The Carnegie UK Trust has today published a new report which we thought you
may be interested in: Making Digital Real: Case Studies of How to Help the
Final Fifth Get
Online<http://www.carnegieuktrust.org.uk/Publications/2014/Making-Digital-Real>

Having access to the internet is now an essential service. One of the
important benefits that it can offer is the opportunity to engage with a
wide range of local, national and international news content. But a fifth
of UK households remain offline - and it is often those who could gain the
most from internet access who are the least likely to be connected.

Making Digital Real sets out 7 Digital Participation Tests that local
authorities, housing providers and other public, voluntary and community
organisations can use to help plan their activities to support more people
to gain access to the internet. The report also provides Case Studies of
successful digital participation initiatives in Liverpool, Leeds, Glasgow,
Sunderland, Wiltshire and Fife, illustrating a wide range of different
approaches that can be used to tackle digital exclusion.

Please click here<http://www.carnegieuktrust.org.uk/Publications/2014/Making-Digital-Real>to
download the seven Digital Participation Tests and the six Case
Studies.

We ask you to:
1. Download the report and let us know about successful digital inclusion
projects taking place in your area
2. Share the research with any of your colleagues, stakeholders or networks
who you think may find it useful

If you would like to discuss the report, or any of the Carnegie UK Trust's
other work on digital inclusion, then please do get in touch, we would be
very pleased to hear from you.

With best wishes,

*Douglas*
