“School librarians have an important role in ensuring that children and
young people build the skills required to navigate and evaluate information effectively.
School librarians are, by both their training and nature of their work, skilled in engaging with the digital landscape. This makes them crucial to achieving the key outcomes to develop a digital society, ensuring pupils are given the opportunity to develop the skills to navigate information critically and effectively”
