This scheme temporarily increases data allowances for mobile phone users on certain networks. This is so that children and young people can access remote education if their face-to-face education is disrupted.
You can request extra mobile data for disadvantaged children who:
- have no broadband connection at home
- cannot afford additional data
One of the following must also apply. They are children:
- in years 3 to 11 and whose face-to-face education is disrupted
- who are clinically extremely vulnerable and need to shield on current official advice (this could be from a
doctor or hospital consultant)
- who live in a household that’s been advised to shield because a family member is clinically extremely
vulnerable
- who cannot attend school – even though theirs is open – because restrictions prevent it
Children with access to a mobile phone on one of the following networks might be able to benefit:
- Three
- SMARTY
- Virgin Mobile
- EE
- Tesco Mobile
- Sky Mobile
- O2
- Other providers may join the scheme at a later stage.
