The digital divide and civic tech (TICTec 2016, Helen Milner)Helen Milner
Civic tech can't make the impact it needs to if those working in the sector don't understand that more than half of the world's population doesn't use the internet. Blending my knowledge of digital exclusion, digital inclusion and the digital divide, and my time on the Speaker's Commission for Digital Democracy, this speech asks some difficult questions about how we can work in partnership to make real impact for the people who need better democracies and better lives.

Digital inclusion, housing technology & innovation (July 2015)Helen Milner
With over 4m people who live in social housing also lacking the basic digital skills to live well in today's society, we really do need to work together to do something about it.

Getting Tenants Online: Digital Inclusion & Social HousingHelen Milner
Many people who live in social housing (public housing) are on low income or older making them much more likely to lack basic online skills. They are also likely to benefit from online savings, and will need to interact with Government online too. I've been working with Housing Associations for three years advising on how to help tenants to get those digital skills they need. Some information about the Digital Deal programme - £400,000 grants for social housing. And Stats and facts about Housing & Digital Inclusion.
Tackling Health Inequalities and Digital ExclusionHelen Milner
As more and more health information and health services go online it is important to focus on making sure people who suffer from health inequalities, and who are also digitally excluded, don't get left behind. With a £1m programme from NHS Englamd, we're at the start of a programme to join the dots.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

the government £8,000 a year
• 8% of 1m UK online centres
helped got a job = 80,000 people

£520m in a year
£520m a year
14. Norah: Health
• Since getting online 78 year old Norah
has lost weight and her diabetes has
much improved
• By getting online and reducing her
symptoms, Norah alone will be saving
the NHS at least £5,000 a year for the
rest of her life
• If just 1% of UK diabetes sufferers were
similar to Norah, saving = £145m a year
• Norah has also improved to her arthritis

19. No such thing as a typical centre.
All centres do something else (and support digital skills).
Most centre partners run outreach sessions in care homes, pubs,
clubs, village halls, mosques, churches, social housing, et al
20. Networks within the network
• OCF provides tailored support for local centres
who specialise on helping certain groups of people
who have specific needs. Four specialist networks:
– Into Work (to help unemployed people)
– Disabled People’s network
– Older People’s network
– Carer’s Network (to support people caring for others)
• Community Capacity Builders are local hubs that
OCF helps to develop the digital inclusion support
activity of other local organisations – both to
engage hard-to-reach people
21. Free online courses for digital inclusion, financial
inclusion and employability - www.learnmyway.com
Optimised for mobile learning
22.
23. Also supporting the capability and capacity
of community organisations
www.communityhowto.com
24. BUT, it’s all about a shared goal and
dialogue
• Centres do not pay OCF to be part of the network
• We (the centres and OCF) have a common vision
and a common goal to reduce digital exclusion
• The thing the centres value the most is ‘feeling
part of a network’
• We talk to centres on the telephone every day,
reaching around over 300 every week
• It’s about behaviour change not about
technology
25. We do know how to tackle digital inclusion:
it’s all about people
Getting the people who need support to the
people who want to support them

Clive was made redundant at 56 and says that without the support of his UK online centre, he would have been long term unemployed. He has now found work. “If it wasn’t for the UK online centre taking the time and trouble to sit with me and help me gain the skills I needed, I’m sure I’d still be unemployed today” One unemployed person costs the government £8,000 a year (Bristol University, 2009) Between April 2010 and March 2012, UK online centres supported 80,000 new people into work. 8% of the 1m said they had got a job as a result of going online 80,000 x £8,000 = these people would save the government £640 million per year http://www.ukonlinecentres.com/media-centre/case-studies/item/1646-a-get-online-week-story-cornwall-man-changes-his-life-after-redundancy-and-is-now-helping-others-do-the-same.html
Roger Hamilton was homeless when he returned to the UK from Jamaica. He didn’t have the skills he needed to get back into work - and into housing - until he found a local centre that could support him. Luckily, Roger is now working - and supporting others to improve their lives at homelessness charity St Mungo’s. But without the support he received, he would have cost the government £26,000 for each year he was homeless. Roger also helps others to improve their skills, meaning they can get into work and into housing. The annual cost to Government of a person being homeless is £26,000(Business in the Community) Homelessness is a complicated issue, but Roger is just one person, but there are tens of thousands of people who are estimated to be homeless at any one time. 2% of the learners the UK online centres network supports are homeless = 20,000 out of the 1m people supported by UK online centres between 2010 and 2012
Since getting online at her local UK online centre, 78 year old Norah has lost so much weight using the online forum for the Dukan diet that her diabetes as much improved. In fact, her symptoms have improved so much she is waiting to be assessed to see if she will still need medication. The average person with diabetes costs the NHS £5,000 a year. (Diabetes UK) By getting online and reducing her symptoms, Norah alone will be saving the NHS £5,000 a year for the rest of her life. There are 2.9 million diabetes sufferers in the UK.If just 1% of UK diabetes sufferers saw improvements similar to Norah’s, the NHS would save £145,000,000 a year. Norah also has seen dramatic improvements to her arthritis and high blood pressure. http://www.ukonlinecentres.com/media-centre/case-studies/item/1476-south-yorkshire-widow-finds-the-support-to-change-her-life-online.htmlSee Norah talking about her journey on YouTube: http://bit.ly/TxFKPz
Cheryl had been out of work for 15 years caring for her husband when she began learning at her local UK online centre. Once she began to feel confident, she decided she wanted to give something back - and so started volunteering, supporting other learners to improve their skills. Since then, she has supported hundreds of people just like her to do more online. Volunteering provides a value of £18 billion to the economy each year, and with 17.1 million people volunteering formally, the means each volunteer provides a value of c£1100. (Volunteering England and NCVO) There are 50,000 volunteers in the UK online centres network who contribute £55m to the UK economy just by giving their time to support others improve their skills and do more online. http://www.ukonlinecentres.com/media-centre/case-studies/item/1221-volunteering-helps-cheryl-find-her-confidence-and-a-new-lease-of-life.html
Two linked but different approaches. I will now describe a number of precedent studies (across the practice and other sectors) that have measured the impact of a variety of approaches to delivering digital inclusion. These precedents highlight another key issue, that impact is measured in different ways and with differing robustness. Therefore currently, it is sometimes difficult to share the ‘lessons learnt’ and scale impact across different sectors and issues.
