‘Locked Out’: Digital Disadvantage of Disabled Children, Young People and and Families during the Covid-19 Pandemic
A collaboration between KIDS and the Disabled Children’s Partnership, ‘Locked Out’: Digital Disadvantage of Disabled Children, Young People and Families during the Covid-19 Pandemic demonstrates how many disabled children, young people and their families experienced positives and negatives as digital became the main medium to access vital services, education and to prevent isolation. It explores how user led design and investment in digital services could provide equal access and be a lifeline for families for the future. Importantly, it illustrates that digital access is now essential and not a luxury.
