			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What proportion of the children in your school have a computer and Internet access at home? With lots of schools introducing virtual learning environments to support learning outside of the classroom, what happens to those children who don&#8217;t have the right equipment?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone" title="Home Acecess" src="http://www.teachingnews.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/homeaccess-20100117-092904.png" alt="" width="350" height="214" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">From the <a href="http://www.homeaccess.org.uk/">Home Access site</a>&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&#8216;Home Access is a government drive which will help low-income families to get access to a computer and the internet to get online at home.</p>
<p>If you are a low income family in receipt of certain benefits you could qualify for a grant to buy a computer and/or a minimum of one years’ internet access. The programme is aimed at those that need it most and targets families that do not have access to a computer or the internet at home.&#8217;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Parents who would like to find out more should visit <a href="http://www.homeaccess.org.uk/">www.homeaccess.org.uk</a>. Schools can help to support the scheme by visiting <a href="http://www.homeaccess.org.uk/Information-for-partners/Information-for-partners-two/">the partner area</a> and requesting promotional materials. You can also download 10 handy sheets which explain the scheme in detail at <a href="http://www.keen2learn.co.uk/news/news/10-info-sheets-to-explain-home-access-parents-school-educational-scheme/">Keen2Learn</a>.</p>
