- production of evaluation data about the effectiveness of said materials at upskilling teachers, and building media literacy capabilities in children with SEND
- production of an evaluation report outlining methodology and evaluation data
The grant period will begin in January 2022 (subject to timelines for processing applications), and will need to be completed by the end of March 2022. Funds received through the grant scheme can be used for adapting and testing materials.
