Supporting schools and teachers to tackle online conspiracy, misinformation and disinformation

With our partners at Public First and STAR Academies we carried out the biggest ever study into online conspiracy theories and misinformation in English schools, including teachers, parents and young people across the country. Our findings make sobering reading. Online conspiracy, misinformation and disinformation are rife in our classrooms and teachers lack the tools and confidence to address it.
