More than 270 reconditioned laptops and 30 mobile phones have been distributed to children across Dorset to help them with online learning during the coronavirus pandemic.
Dorset Council said it had been “overwhelmed with requests” for laptops from schools for pupils who do not have one at home.
Following the recent government announcement that it would provide IT support to Year 10 students, and those with social care needs, the council said it had put in in an order for 1,000 additional laptops to support more children.
