A Minimum Digital Living Standard for Households with Children - Overall Findings Repot and Survey Report This report brings together findings from the three-year UK Minimum Digital Living Standards (MDLS) research funded by the Nuffield Foundation, Nominet and the Welsh Government. The project sets a benchmark for what households with children need to feel included in the digital world around them, based on what parents and young people themselves say is required. It takes a holistic approach highlighting the importance of having adequate devices and internet connection, as well the skills necessary to be confident and safely digitally included. The report provides findings on the development of MDLS and what it contains, survey and mapping data on where households are in relation to MDLS, and interviews and discussions with stakeholder organisations and families on varying needs and the challenges households face in meeting MDLS.
