Where things started
This campaign is grounded in the experience of our 2,500 CAB volunteers across the motu who help people everyday with questions about their rights and responsibilities. Through their work with clients, CAB volunteers have seen the negative consequences of government services shifting online and other avenues for accessing help disappearing. The concerns of our volunteers prompted us to take action.

Service Description
| Our report: Face-to-face with digital exclusion We carried out research, looking at over 4,000 records of CAB volunteers’ interactions with clients where issues of digital exclusion were identified. Anonymised information from these records formed the basis of our 2020 report, Face-to-face with digital exclusion. The report showed the exclusion and harm caused by the digital-first or digital-only approach to public service delivery. |
