Intermediaries 'missing link' in transformational government Notes to editors - UK online centres engage with adults who have low or no skills in Information and Communication Technology (ICT), or who do not have access to ICT at home or at work.
- UK online centres provide people with access to technology and support in using it. There are approximately 6,000 UK online centres across England, which provide free or low cost access to the internet and email, deliver online courses and encourage people to progress onto further learning. An estimated two thirds of those people are from the most deprived wards in England - more than half are not in employment, one in ten has a disability, one in seven is over 65, and one in five is from a minority ethnic group.
