These agreements are anticipated to run for a minimum duration of 12 months.
DSIT will also provide access to approved curriculum materials, delivery frameworks, and promotional assets to support implementation.
Partners will be expected to demonstrate a strong track record of delivering CyberFirst content in the UK, robust governance and safeguarding procedures, and evidence of in-country delivery capability or partnerships.
