As the UK Government’s consultation on digital identity closes, attention now turns to what happens next. The choices made in response will shape the future of digital identity across public services, with significant implications for privacy, interoperability, inclusion, and trust.
At the Open Data Institute, we will be sharing our key reflections from the consultation, alongside insights from our broader work on digital identity and data infrastructure. This session will explore the policy and technical priorities we believe should guide the next phase of development.
This webinar is designed for those working at the intersection of data, technology, and public policy who want to understand where the debate is heading and how to engage with it.
We will cover:
- Our key recommendations and responses to the UK Government’s Digital ID consultation
- Insights from ODI research and practical work on digital identity and data infrastructure
- The most important unresolved challenges, including interoperability, governance, and inclusion
- What government, industry, and civil society should prioritise next
- Opportunities for continued engagement and collaboration in shaping the future of digital identity
This will be an insight-led session, with space for discussion and reflection on the direction of travel following the consultation process.
If you are working on digital identity, data governance, or digital public services, this is an opportunity to engage with the emerging policy landscape and help shape what comes next.
