Description (short summary):
This briefing note explains the background to the new online tool "solutions4inclusion". solutions4inclusion is a tool providing local authorities and their partners with inspiring examples of technology enabled services that are improving the lives of disadvantaged people.

This will make an important contribution to the relevant action plan by helping local practitioners to consider approaches to achieving digital and social inclusion in their areas. Open to all, visitors can search the site by various criteria (national indicators, excluded groups, exclusion problems or free text) to quickly find examples of inspiring projects, including short descriptions and contact details for each case.

solutions4inclusion is also available as a place sharing and dissminating the many good ideas and projects that exist on the ground already but which have, to date, received low visibility.

solutions4inclusion currently provides examples of more than 400 projects that use technology to enhance social inclusion. Projects are derived from multiple sources including the Digital Inclusion Team, ePractice, esd-toolkit, Digital Challenge, Tech4i2, eGovernment and other awards. It is a joint project between the CLG, De Montfort University, the Digital Inclusion Team and esd-toolkit.
