Inclusive society

We believe that an inclusive society where everyone can participate will be more stable and productive.

Communications skills and technology can give individuals and communities everywhere the opportunity to take part in the global economy. The challenge is to ensure the benefits are felt equally. Millions still lack access to technology and the skills to use it, and in many countries the gap between rich and poor is widening.

We want everyone to share the benefits of communications technology. Our inclusive society programme promotes inclusion by:

• Making our products readily available, affordable and easy to use
• Increasing communication and ICT skills through community investment programmes
• Creating an inclusive culture across BT

Digital Inclusion

Access to Information and Communications Technology (ICT) can improve people's lives, opening doors to education, jobs and entertainment. But many people are missing out because they don’t have the opportunity or necessary skills to use the technology.

Through our digital inclusion projects we work with partners to help older people, disadvantaged communities and individuals gain ICT skills they can use to improve their lives.
