Digital access is essential for family life but 3.7million households with children don't meet the Minimum Digital Living Standard. This is a complex issue - how can we work together and use this research to tackle this? @MinDigiLiving

Final reflections from @CamdenCouncil how can we quantify #MDLS for an accurate measurement? Can we use #MDLS as a catalyst - who has a role where? How can we network effectively to make the greatest impact? Let’s push through these barriers ‘We’re all in this together’

#MDLS @sjyates key predictors of NOT meeting the MDLS are social class, deprivation, being a single-parent home, having more than 2 kids in the home, unemployment, being on benefits, being non-White, having a long-term health issue or disability, and living outside London.
