answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2021 answer text <p>The Government supports the provision of basic digital skills training for adults in community settings through the Adult Education Budget. We have introduced new essential digital skills qualifications (EDSQs) based on <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-standards-for-essential-digital-skills" target="_blank">new national standards for essential digital skills.</a> Adults with no or low digital skills can study essential digital skills qualifications for free.</p><p>Public libraries are also a vital component in tackling digital exclusion. There are around 2,900 public libraries in England providing a trusted network of accessible locations offering free Wi-Fi, computers, and other technology. The library staff, supported by volunteers, have been trained on digital skills to enable them to provide library users with support in using digital. Their vital role has been recognised in exceptions to tier and national restrictions, where after the first lock-down public libraries have been permitted to allow people to use library buildings for public PC use to access essential public services.</p><p>As set out in the Full Government Response to the Online Harms White Paper Consultation, the Government is developing an Online Media Literacy Strategy. This Strategy will explore the existing media literacy landscape, and ensure a strategic and coordinated approach to media literacy education. We are committed to ensuring that the Strategy is inclusive and supports all users, including older people, to improve their media literacy levels. The Strategy will be published in Spring 2021.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 21/01/2021 16:26:32 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
