One such example of this is a contract with the ‘Good Things Foundation.’ This Service is for the development, testing and implementation of the customer’s future face to face assisted digital service for HMCTS. This will support the ICT access needs of digitally excluded and less digitally able users. This assistance will consist of helping users to complete specified digital processes, such as help with online form completion, online payments, and online submission of evidence and other documentation.</p><p>Our in house call agents will also be trained to identify assisted digital callers and will help direct callers into the support channel which best suits the callers’ needs and abilities.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 12/03/2018 15:31:29 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
