Media: Education
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what recent steps his Department has taken to improve community access to media literacy education.
Answered by Feryal Clark
The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology is improving community access to media literacy through the Digital Inclusion Action Plan, which supports local and community-led initiatives to boost digital participation. Libraries, as trusted and accessible public spaces, play a key role in delivering digital and media literacy support to communities across the UK.
DSIT also works closely with Ofcom, which engages civil society and community organisations as part of its role as the online safety regulator.
