At this session, two of our ambassador hubs will share how they support people who have newly arrived in the UK to increasingly digital essential services like:

- Healthcare

- Education

- Home office

Digital inclusion isn't just about helping someone to use a computer, and as more and more services move online, we need to take a holistic approach that's sensitive to people's experience and needs.

We'll talk about access to the internet and devices, overcoming language barriers, supporting people with urgent digital needs and how you can use Learn My Way to help people to learn the digital skills needed so that they can benefit from essential services and more.
