It has been designed to identify key criteria to support the successful implementation of digital technologies to effectively support all aspects of a school community. Suitable for any school at any stage, the majority of senior leaders that have completed the tool have found it a useful tool in helping shape the next steps and maximise the power of technology to enhance everyday teaching and learning as well as improve internal school efficiencies and reduce workload. The tool provides automated reporting with a data dashboard of the results, complete with the ability to track change over time. In addition, the report includes automated signposting to high quality and relevant support material, that will help ensure any school engaging in the tool makes further progress and help maximise the impact of LGfL services.  Find out more and take the DTT Survey       Prevent Duty Self Assessment Tool for Schools The DigiSafe Team have worked with DfE in developing their new Prevent Self-Assessment Tool for Schools to help ensure schools have  the necessary policies and practices in place to comply with the Prevent duty and evaluate: Leadership & Management Risk Assessment Working in Partnership Training Online Safety Safeguarding School Premises Building Children’s Resilience to Radicalisation The toolkit includes a how-to guide including a supporting spreadsheet to help encourage a cycle of continuous review and improvement - find top tips on how to use it in our blog: Ofsted and Prevent – find out how the new Self-Assessment Tool for schools can help you towards compliance Download the Prevent Self-Assessment Tool for Schools Read blog: Ofsted and Prevent       EEF - EdTech Survey 2022 The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) would like to know how widely a range of EdTech programmes and approaches are used in schools and nurseries. This will help inform the scope for a future funding round.   CooperGibson Research in partnership with Capita Education and Learning, have been commissioned by the EEF to conduct a national survey of schools. This survey asks you about the EdTech used in your school / nursery so that we can understand how common different EdTech programmes and approaches are. It also asks about EdTech innovations, and decision-making responsibilities.   The survey is designed to take less than 10 minutes to complete.
