It's often said that it's 'just' elderly people who experience digital exclusion. Two things here: a/ 'just' implies that's somehow OK; b/ it's not true. Statistics cited in my evidence on digital exclusion to the House of Lords include: 'Only 41% of people in work in the UK have the full set of digital skills needed for work … further, 8% do not have any of the essential workplace digital skills at all' committees.parliament.uk/writt

Really sad to hear that Scottish digital skills academy Code Clan has announced it has gone into liquidation today, and has ceased trading with immediate effect.

Code Clan has provided a safe environment since 2015 for people to develop their skills to embark on a career in tech. I was always impressed with how much they did to support and include marginalised groups, long-term unemployed and women returners.

We had good discussions today at the @lisboncouncil summit.

There were nice examples of public-private partnerships for skills, but I really wonder if they can scale to be anything of systemic importance (apart from the question of giving control over training and education)
