Policy Lead for Customer Support Services, Councillor Mary-Jean Devon said:
鈥淭he importance of up-to-date, effective digital services was made crystal clear when lockdown was first announced last year. Where some other councils struggled to keep services going, P站色情片 made it possible for many of our employees to deliver key services from home.
We could do this because we already had well established, flexible technology and working practices in place.
This strategy will ensure that we continue to make digital innovation work for our employees who deliver services and our local communities who use them.鈥
The strategy covers different aspects of digital service delivery, from working securely on-line to developing inclusive and accessible services.
