Who is eligible? Families receiving income support or unemployment benefits will be able to apply for a Home Access grant which they can use to purchase a computer or broadband package from an approved supplier. Most people who meet the criteria for free school meals will be eligible to apply. At launch, children aged 7-14, in school years 3-9, will be eligible, but the programme is aiming to work towards universal home access for all school age children by 2011. How to apply? Funding is available for around 270,000 households and you can apply by calling 0333 200 1004 for an application form. If your application is approved, you will receive a prepaid Barclaycard, which is valid for three months, and which you can use at approved retailers. |
