Digital Inclusion and our commitment

Digital Inclusion is about ensuring everyone has the ability, access, skills and motivation to take part in a modern digital life, and are able to take advantage of the benefits this brings. Almost every part of life has a digital element: using the NHS App, shopping online, connecting with loved ones. Meaning having access to digital devices, connectivity and skills is becoming increasingly essential.

Making the Liverpool City Region one of the most digitally connected and inclusive regions in the UK is a key pledge for Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram. As a city region, we are committed to ensuring that our residents have access to the skills and support needed to fully participate in an ever-evolving digital world. Find out about the support that’s on offer by clicking on the links below.
