Report of the Director of Innovation & Growth and the Director of Community and Children’s Services

The Committee received a report of the Director of Innovation and Growth and the Director of Community and Children’s Services presenting the first annual report for the City of London Corporation’s Digital Skills Strategy 2018-2023, which was approved by Policy & Resources Committee in September 2018.

In response to a query from a Member, the Committee was advised that whilst quantitative measures were currently used as a proxy, officers hoped to develop more sophisticated methods and take on qualitative data in time.

The Committee then paid tribute to Sufina Ahmed, who was leaving the Corporation to take up a role elsewhere, having previously worked closely with City Bridge Trust, including on developing the Bridging Divides Strategy.

RESOLVED – That the City Bridge Trust Committee:

a)    Endorse the Digital Skills Strategy Annual Report and provide guidance on how it should be shared with all Members; and

b)    Continue to prioritise the Digital Skills Strategy going forward.
