Sefton’s draft Digital Strategy for 2024-2027 has been developed in the context of our partnership 2030 vision of Sefton as a borough connected by people, supported by technology and the Council’s Core Purpose.
Working with our partners the Council want to develop approaches that will see our communities and businesses benefit from new digital technologies that keep people informed and connected.
A consultation on the proposed strategy is now live and we are encouraging everybody to take part.
The Updates
With this draft strategy Sefton is working to make digital services better in 3 main areas:
- A Connected Council – Making sure the Council's services work well for everyone.
- Empowering Residents – helping people learn about and use digital services.
- Business Growth – helping businesses use digital tools to grow and bring new jobs to Sefton.
Our progress so far
We have made great progress and so far we have:
- Made sure all staff have access to the right digital tools. These tools help staff work in new ways, like using drop-in spaces in Council buildings.
- We also made spaces for Health and Social Care staff to work together. This helps them do their jobs better and support each other.
- We have improved our main IT systems. Now they work well and help staff do their jobs more easily.
- We have also given training to all staff. This helps them learn new skills and do their jobs better.
- We made our Council website easier to use.
- We added new ways for people to help themselves online.
- We improved the computers in libraries.
- We started a tablet and databank scheme to help people to get online.
- We started a Digital Inclusion Strategy and Partnership group.
- We started a Technology Enabled Care Strategy to help people stay independant.
- We tested Smart Cities technology, like Air Quality Sensors.
- We created a Digital Support Network for tech businesses and plan to help other businesses too.
