At a time when the decision to introduce a social media ban for under 16s is front of mind – this webinar will be a valuable space to learn more about digital access and inclusion through a lens of tackling family and child poverty in Scotland.

Hosted by Children In Scotland, this webinar will share insights from a collaborative project led by University of Liverpool in partnership with Mhor Collective, SCVO (Scottish Council of Voluntary Organisations) and Good Things Foundation.

You’ll hear key takeaways and insights from our recent work with:

Children and young people, including care experienced young people and carers
Third sector practitioners on key issues, challenges, and what works

You’ll have the opportunity to:

Shape recommendations for policy makers, funders, and service providers
Discuss what would help your organisation take this forward

The project has been supported by a grant from the Scottish Government Digital Inclusion Innovation Fund.
