South Gloucestershire ICT Information Update

The Know IT All for Parents resource which Childnet launched last month (see http://www.childnet-int.org/kia) has had a phenomenal take-up with over 212,000 copies ordered from schools (of which 196,345 have now been dispatched). In addition to this Childnet have agreed with PC WORLD that they will make a further 200,000 copies available free to the public through their stores from July onwards. With over 400,000 of the initial 1 million stock already distributed, it’s important that all schools are aware of this resource and can order their free bulk quantities, especially those schools who can benefit from the non-English language sections on the KIA resource (summary information is in 9 languages including Arabic, Mandarin, Punjabi, Bengali, Urdu, Polish, BSL and Gujarati). A wider communications drive begins this month with adverts in the TES and elsewhere and a special promotional advert is available from http://www.childnet-int.org/kia/about/promote.aspx
