answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2018 answer text <p>We are committed to improving citizens’ digital skills and particularly those with limited skills and understanding.</p><p> </p><p>We recently published our plans to improve adult basic digital skills by updating the national standards setting out the digital skills people need to get on in life and work and introducing improved basic digital skills qualifications at two levels:</p><ul><ul><li>‘beginner’ designed for adults with little or no prior experience of using digital devices or the internet.</li><li>‘essential’ designed for adults with some experience of using digital devices and the internet but lacking the full range of basic digital skills needed for life and work.</li></ul></ul><p> </p><p>We are also introducing a national entitlement to basic digital skills courses from 2020, similar to the existing legal entitlements for English and Maths.</p><p> </p><p>In the interim, we will continue to support the provision of basic digital skills training for adults in colleges and community learning centres across England through the Adult Education Budget and other programmes, including the Future Digital Inclusion programme funded by DfE managed by the Good Things Foundation and delivered through the 3,000 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.</p><p> </p><p>We have also established the Digital Skills Partnership (DSP) to bring together organisations from private, public and third sectors to improve digital skills and capability levels. The Government launched a Digital Inclusion Innovation Fund in September 2018 to support innovative projects aimed at helping older and disabled people.</p><p> </p><p>Government ensures its services are accessible by design and has also committed to ensuring that assistance to access its services is always available for those who are not online. Government departments are mandated to provide assisted digital (offline) support for their services where it is required. Video Relay Service (VRS), for example, is available for some government services, including for claiming welfare benefits. VRS allows two parties in two separate locations to connect remotely via a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter so BSL users can make and receive telephone calls. The three parties involved in the call (caller, called party and interpreter) can all be in different locations.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 29/10/2018 11:51:27 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ashton of Hyde on 15 October (HL10413), whether they will encourage all museums and galleries to publish annually their net operating costs in relation to income generation from image licensing to assure the public that, “the total income for the accounting period must not exceed the cost of collection, production, reproduction, dissemination, preservation and rights clearance of the information, together with a reasonable return on investment”, as stated in the Guidance on the implementation of the Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2015.

It is not appropriate for my department to intervene in these matters. It is for each accounting officer to ensure that their organisation follows what is set out in the Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2015 and publish information accordingly. The complaints mechanism is available in the Regulations to be used if any re-user feels that the Regulations are not being followed.
