The Department for Education is providing laptops, tablets and internet access to disadvantaged families, children and young people who do not currently have access to them to enable access to remote education and social care services during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
For the 2020 to 2021 academic year, we have made more laptops and tablets available for disadvantaged children in certain year groups who are affected by disruption to face-to-face education at their school, or have been advised to shield because they are or someone in their household is clinically extremely vulnerable.
