Leicester and Leicestershire Digital Inclusion Call for Evidence and Survey 2024 open

As part of the LLEP’s ongoing work to support digital inclusion, they are inviting partners, stakeholders, and employers to complete a short survey about current issues and challenges being faced by the local population.

A similar survey ran in 2021 and findings were used as an evidence base to commission local projects, share findings with partners and make links with national partners. Many local residents benefitted as a result.

The LLEP would now like to gather a similar evidence base to inform future work, particularly considering if the issues highlighted in 2021 are similar or have changed. With ever-increasing growth in the use of basic digital skills in daily life, accessing services, learning, and using technology in the workplace, it is crucial to understand what the current barriers to digital skills are.

Findings from the 2024 research will be collated and shared to help local skills needs considerations and may also be used to support and inform future area skills investments.

The survey consists of six questions and can be accessed here: https://consultations.leicester.gov.uk/sec/7aec0417.

There is also scope to upload additional area digital inclusion information you may have.

The survey closes on 17 March 2024.
