Laptops and Tablets Data as of 12 January Ad-hoc notice – laptops and tablets for disadvantaged and vulnerable children. January 2021 Contents Contents 2 Introduction 3 Progress data for devices 4 Definitions 5 Data Quality 5 Annex A: Devices delivered by LA and Trust 6 Get laptops and tablets for vulnerable and disadvantaged children who cannot attend school due to coronavirus (COVID-19) Introduction The government is providing over one million laptops and tablets to help schools and colleges throughout the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Following the announcement on 5th January 2021 about a national lockdown and restricting attendance in schools and colleges, the scale of deliveries increased. For the 2020 to 2021 academic year, the Department for Education (DfE) is providing laptops and tablets to schools, academy trusts (trusts) and local authorities (LAs) to support children access remote education during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Laptops and tablets have been made available, if there is no existing access to a device, for: • disadvantaged children in years 3 to 11 whose face-to-face education is disrupted • disadvantaged children in any year group who have been advised to shield because they (or someone they live with) are clinically extremely vulnerable • disadvantaged children in any year group attending a hospital school • disadvantaged 14 to 16-year-olds enrolled for Key Stage 4 at sixth-form colleges and whose face-to-face education is disrupted The number of devices available for schools and colleges to order through the Get help with technology service reflects the number of laptops and tablets DfE estimates are needed by each school or college. This calculation is based on free school meals data and an estimate of the number of devices a school or college already has and private device ownership. If a school, trust or LA requires additional devices, they can contact to the Department and more devices can be made available. These devices are in addition to those DfE provided during the 2020 summer term to LAs and trusts for children, families and young adults most in need. The DfE does not hold centrally recorded information on the onward distribution to families and children. DfE has advised that they are to be used to support disadvantaged children who are otherwise unable to access remote education. Examples of this include disadvantaged children: • with no digital devices in their household • whose only available device is a smartphone • with a single device in their household that is being shared with more than one other family member 3 This publication reports how many devices have been delivered or dispatched to LAs, trusts schools and colleges. For information about how many devices and 4G wireless routers were delivered to local authorities and academy trusts in the summer 2020 term please see previous publication here. Progress data for devices Table 1: Devices delivered since start of scheme Description Data Devices (laptops and tablets) delivered 702,226 or dispatched to LAs, trusts, schools and colleges (as of 11th January) Table 2: Progress data for spring term 2021 The first devices were dispatched from 4th January 2021. Description Data Devices (laptops and tablets) delivered 139,805 or dispatched to schools and colleges (as of 11th January) To see how many devices have been delivered or dispatched by LA or academy trust please see Annex A. 4 Definitions Definition Description Devices A device is a laptop or tablet along with a protective sleeve and delivered or software/operating licences. dispatched Delivered or dispatched means the device has been dispatched from the storage facility or is in transit awaiting delivery on a date specified by the recipient. Shipments are running on a next business day delivery basis and two redelivery attempts are made before the delivery is returned. The Department for Education do not collect delivery receipt data for devices. The cost of collecting this data, which would require tracking a large network of different couriers that use different systems, would outweigh the benefits. The data reported here is not representative of devices reaching children. From the point of delivery to the school or college, that school or college is responsible for distributing the devices to disadvantaged children. Data Quality This data is produced by Computacenter on behalf of the Department for Education. Schools and Colleges place their orders in an order management system which is supported by a SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform. Quality checks operate every day within the ERP platform. There have been no errors in the transactional volume data reported to date. If a data error is reported, this would lead to a full investigation using Computacenter’s quality management system, and would be disclosed immediately to the Department for Education. 5 Annex A: Devices delivered by LA and Trust Table 3: Devices (laptops and tablets) delivered or dispatched to LAs or directly to LA-maintained schools in 2020 to 2021 academic year.
