answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2018 answer text <p>We are committed to helping older people acquire basic digital skills as part of our broader strategy to reduce digital exclusion. The UK Digital Strategy, published in March 2017, describes the steps we are taking across government:</p><p> </p><ul><li>Establishing the Digital Skills Partnership. This brings together stakeholders from the private, public and charity sectors to join efforts both nationally and locally to help people increase their digital skills at all levels. It will also build upon the 4 million pledges of free digital skills training opportunities that our corporate partners pledged as part of the Digital Strategy of which more than 2 million have already been delivered.</li></ul><p> </p><ul><li>Introducing fully-funded basic digital skills training for adults lacking these vital skills from 2020. Adults will have the opportunity to take improved basic digital courses based on new national standards setting out the basic digital skills needed to participate effectively in the labour market and day–to-day life. We will consult on these new standards in the autumn.</li></ul><p> </p><ul><li>Using the 3000 libraries across England to provide a trusted network of accessible locations with trained staff and volunteers, free Wi-Fi, computers, and other technology as well as Assisted Digital access to a wide range of digital public services where individuals are unable to access these services independently.</li></ul><p> </p><p>These initiatives will build on the significant investment Government already makes in basic digital skills training through the Adult Education offer, the budget for which is being devolved to ensure decisions on skills provision are made at a local level. Government also funds the Future Digital Inclusion programme managed by the Good Things Foundation and delivered through the 5,000 strong Online Centres network. To date this programme has supported over 800,000 adult learners to develop their basic digital skills, many of whom are socially excluded. <br></p><p>The NHS Digital Widening Digital Participation, delivered in partnership with Good Things Foundation, develops projects that enable people in England to improve their digital health skills and to increase their access to digital services and tools that support their health and care. Older people accounted for 71.8% of those reached by funded centres within the programme.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 01/05/2018 10:38:37 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
