Online Harms - Media Literacy Survey - deadline Friday 17th January

Media Literacy Landscape Mapping Exercise 

The UK Government committed to developing an online media literacy strategy in the Online Harms White Paper, published in April 2019. As part of this the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport have appointed a consultancy, RSM UK, to undertake a comprehensive mapping exercise to identify what actions are already underway.

The consultancy has developed a framework to record and characterise the media literacy initiatives available to UK users and is in the process of populating this framework to help DCMS understand the nature of the initiatives and any gaps in provision.

If you represent an organisation that provides or funds any media literacy initiatives to users in the UK, it would be very helpful if you could complete this brief survey. 

The link below will take you to an online questionnaire, designed using SmartSurvey, that will ask some questions about the issues that you are trying to resolve, your target user groups, and delivery methods.

The survey will ask you a few questions about your organisation as a whole. You will then have the chance to describe the individual media literacy initiatives that you provide.

The survey should take no more than 15-30 minutes depending upon the number of media literacy initiatives that you describe.

If you have any queries about how to complete the survey, please email matt.rooke@rsmuk.com and amy.hau@rsmuk.com. The survey will remain open until Friday 17 January and any queries will be responded to in time to complete the survey.

Many thanks
