Abstract

This report combines insights from social science, vocational rehabilitation, disability research and digital engagement to explore how the widespread use of the Internet and other digital tools in various areas of life, including volunteer organisations, affects disabled people’s ability to participate in volunteer work. The project team has also developed guidelines for digital inclusion of disabled adults in voluntary work, which they hope will support existing good practices in the voluntary sector to reduce digital barriers. These guidelines are useful not only for improving the digital inclusion of disabled people in voluntary work, but also in paid work.
