Digital Inlcusion

DG Unlimited is proud to be an accredited signatory of the Digital Inclusion Charter for Scotland. Read our pledges below.

Scotland’s Digital Inclusion Charter exists to support, guide and recognise best practice in digital inclusion work in Scotland.  The pledges are about structuring digital inclusion in a way that makes it easier to explain, discuss, and share with colleagues and organisations. 

These pledges are clear about specific actions people can take to advance and promote digital inclusion for staff, service users and customers. They’re designed so that we can take a recognised approach to delivering digital inclusion work, regardless of the sector or community we work in.  

Different organisations will deliver on pledges in different ways – and that’s okay. That’s what makes this work so interesting and diverse. As long as people are at the heart of what we do, we can’t go wrong.  From the smallest charity to the largest corporation, we all have a role to play. Read more about The Charter.
