The Executive's response to point 56 was that it would set up a dedicated digital inclusion unit to co-ordinate work on digital inclusion. Last year this was done, the Executive created a dedicated digital inclusion unit to take forward its objectives for digital inclusion. As a first step, in discussion with partners in the public, private and voluntary sectors, the digital inclusion team developed the Executive's Digital Inclusion Strategy Connecting Scotland's People which was published in September 2001 (see www.scotland.gov.uk/digitalscotland), which sets out the Executive's framework for developing digital inclusion. The team is now taking forward a range of initiatives to increase awareness of the benefits of the web; increase access to the web; improve skills; and involve communities.
