Digital support service
With support from NHS Digital, Independent Lives can offer digital skills support to the people in Sussex who are risk of digital exclusion.
Two million over 75’s in the UK are not online which equates to close to 23,000 older people in Sussex. There are also 13.6 million people with a disability in the UK. Of these, 32% lack even basic digital skills.
We are no longer accepting referrals for the digital support service as we are sat capacity until the project ends. If you need any urgent support or advice on next steps then please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Tackling digital exclusion training
As part of our digital support service we have developed a free e-learning course which can help those working in health and social care to spot the signs of digital exclusion and know what to do to tackle it. You can access the free course at the link below.
