Digitally Excluded Person
In-depth regulatory definition and operational context for Digitally Excluded Person under 2026 mandates.
A Digitally Excluded Person is an operator who may keep written records instead of using the digital service. This is not an exemption from recording: they must apply to the Environment Agency for a digitally excluded number, record the same information in writing within the normal deadline, retain it, and make it available to the Agency on request.
Technical Guidance & Context
This is a statutory protection to ensure that those without digital access are not unfairly penalised. However, the criteria for exclusion are strict and usually require formal application to the regulator.
