This new law will come into effect from April 2027. Simultaneously, the DfE issued updated digital and technology standards across six core areas to be met by 2030 and, more recently, the Secretary of State for Education issued a Policy Paper: .Every child achieving & thriving focussing on a higher level of support for children with SEND across all levels of mainstream settings. With the need for compliance comes an opportunity for educational settings to further develop their digital strategy, integrating the continuing need to meet carbon reduction targets, keep ahead of cyber threats, take advantage of the latest technologies available both for teachers, students and facilities/IT management, as well as updating any safety, security and facilities management of the setting to comply with the new law and regulations. The Wired In For Education event has been designed to bring schools, colleges, academies, and trusts up to speed with the latest laws/regulations and understand how technology can support safer, more resilient, and future-ready education settings.
