Are there other actions that should be considered?
There needs to be a equity in provision of hardware, software and digital strategy. At the moment it very much depends on what each council's priority is and what budget sacrifices have been made. This therefore means that educators and learners do not have equal opportunities to learn through technologies.

6. Do you agree with the priorities for action outlined in the 'teachers' theme?

Please select one item
Radio button: Ticked Yes
Radio button: Unticked No
Are there other actions that should be considered?
There is a huge lack of support for educators where training and support is concerned. This has a huge issue with confidence in using digital technologies. The massive cut backs in council spending has resulted in ICT support being cut in many, if not all councils.
As stated in the SSSC code of practice for social care service workers, which includes early years practitioners/early educators:
'Provide training and development opportunities to enable social service workers to strengthen and develop their skills and knowledge' this would also include digital technologies.
