We'd like to thank the attendees, speakers and the Design Council who made the LSE's Moving Social Security Online conference a success.
Throughout the day we used the hashtag #lsesocsec|.
In the present fiscal climate, governments must cut the costs of delivering services at the same time as maintaining quality. They must also cope with the demands of increasing numbers of the unemployed and the aging. A key imperative therefore is to move the bulk of social security processes and transactions online.
