We are committed to equipping our children and young people with the knowledge, skills, and resilience to navigate the online world. A key part of this includes developing media literacy skills and knowledge to recognise misinformation.
The Curriculum for Wales contains a range of expectations across areas of learning aimed at helping learners to find, evaluate and use appropriate evidence in forming their views, and to think critically about sources of information in both the digital world and the real world.
Media literacy resources are available on Hwb for learners and practitioners. These resources are designed to equip learners to recognise and deal with misinformation, clickbait and ‘deepfakes’ online. The Keeping Safe Online section of Hwb contains a range of information and resources for schools and learners on this topic. We have also worked with sector-leading experts Full Fact to deliver misinformation training modules for education practitioners.
We continue to have regular discussions with schools to understand their priorities and needs.
