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

The latest funding guidance for schools and local authorities has been issued by Becta. It describes all the grants relating to ICT provision and describes how these can be used. It can be ordered from the Becta web site on http://publications.becta.org.uk/display.cfm?resID=30274. A copy is being sent into all South Gloucestershire schools via the school post. The guidance has a useful summary of key documents at the front as well as some scenarios demonstrating how funding can be used to support school improvement.
