When I knock on doors in Rossendale and Darwen, people are still asking, “Where is the change that we were promised?” We have not moved nearly far enough or fast enough to meet the needs of communities like mine. Last week’s local election results show us that starkly. youtube.com/shorts/gQ3Bz...View post ↗
Last week, at Westminster, PACTS hosted a Parliamentary Lunch with @andymacnaemp.bsky.social, Ruth Cadbury MP, and Simon Turner (DfBB). Corporate members explored how safer roads benefit business and society, focusing on work-related risk, tech, and data. #RoadSafety #PACTSView post ↗
By cutting off the ‘pull factor’ of the opportunity to work off the books in the UK, the Digital ID scheme will send a clear message to those who want to work illegally in this country, along with the people smugglers and criminal gangs who profit from illegal immigration.View post ↗
Why is this being introduced? Digital ID will make it easier for people without passports and driving licences to access crucial government services, which is becoming an increasing issue. It will also be used a means of proving the Right to Work in this country.View post ↗
When is it happening? First, the government will be holding a consultation to ensure that everyone’s voices are listened to. Then, it will be introduced through legislation. Over time, it will become the standard for Right-to-Work checks.View post ↗
Alongside state-of-the-art encryption and user authentication, the only information shared will be what is strictly necessary for the situation. For example, you will be able to prove you’re over 18 without revealing your full date of birth.View post ↗
It will be launched alongside an outreach programme to provide face-to-face support. How will this impact my privacy? The Digital ID system will improve your privacy and security, giving you more control over your personal data.View post ↗
Will I need a smartphone to make use of it? You won’t need a smartphone to access the benefits of this ID system, and the government will hold a consultation to ensure usability for those less experienced with digital technology, such as homeless and elderly people.View post ↗
