In support of a Code of Practice for Education Technology

A Code of Practice for EdTech supported by a certification scheme would make it easier
for schools to use technology for the benefit of children confidently and in a way that
respects child rights and create pathways for beneficial sharing of education data for
innovation.

This briefing for Amendment 146 to the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill explains how a Code of Practice supported by a Certification Scheme would reduce the burden on schools as data controllers and educational providers and help them identify products that protect children’s data rights, uphold the rights of the child, and provide educational benefits.
