<p>The Department is providing laptops and tablets to vulnerable and disadvantaged
children who would otherwise not have access and are preparing for examinations in
year 10, receiving support from a social worker, including pre-school children, or
are a care leaver. Where care leavers, children with a social worker at secondary
school and disadvantaged children in year 10 do not have internet connections, we
are providing 4G wireless routers.</p><p>Local authorities and academy trusts are
best placed to identify and distribute the laptops and tablets to children and young
people who need devices. The Department invited local authorities to order devices
for the most vulnerable children first - those with a social worker and care leavers.</p><p>Computer
devices are being delivered to local authorities and academy trusts daily and will
continue to be distributed throughout June.</p>
