The UK House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee has published a new report calling on the government to take "urgent action" on media literacy.

We’re proud to see our recommendations and evidence from our programmes cited throughout the report, recognising media literacy as an essential part of education in the 21st century.

The Committee’s recommendations include:

Embedding media literacy in the national curriculum from the early years

Updating teacher training and professional development

Raising public awareness and supporting adult learning

Backing local partners like libraries to deliver media literacy in communities

Appointing a senior minister to lead a collaborative effort

Demanding more from tech platforms, such as funding and support for media literacy initatives
