This will improve the effectiveness and efficiency of future media literacy initiatives and inform government policy moving forward.<\/p><p>As part of this work, we established the Media Literacy Taskforce to bring together organisations in the media literacy landscape to amplify, increase and improve media literacy provision across underserved parts of the UK.
