The LLEP (Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership Ltd) need to develop a fuller understanding of the impact of digital exclusion across the Leicester and Leicestershire area to inform future investments to assist economic recovery.
We understand from partners and stakeholders, in particular Local Authorities, and education and skills providers that they may hold data pertinent to their local area. We would like to be able to draw together this data to enable an assessment of the level of digital poverty for young people and adults across the Leicester and Leicestershire area.
The evidence will be used to contribute towards the development of a LLEP area Digital Skills Partnership, leading on digital skills needs across the area, demand and supply, and facilitating actions to address digital gaps and to help inform a future area Digital Skills Strategy.
