<p>There are several sources that the government uses to understand the prevalence
of digital exclusion among disabled people. Ofcom survey data from 2020 suggests that
23% of those with any limitations/impairments don’t use the internet or have home
internet access. The ONS publication ‘Exploring the UK’s Digital Divide’ 2019 states
that in 2017, 56% of adult internet non-users were disabled. The 2020 Lloyds Consumer
Digital Index tells us that people with an impairment are 25% less likely to have
the skills to access devices and get online by themselves.</p><p> </p>
