- don’t have access to a fixed broadband connection
- cannot afford the additional data needed to access educational resources
- have access to a mobile device that uses a participating network
- are facing disruption to their face-to-face education, or have been advised not to attend school
In order to request extra mobile data we are required to collect certain information. Once we have received your request we will submit an application on your behalf to the DfE and notify you in due course if and when it has been successful.
