Do we need to use MML lessons?
No. These tools are free for school staff, whether you work with MML or arrange provision yourself. Using a resource does not book lessons.
Do these tools collect pupil information?
The tools are for school-level planning. Use group and role labels rather than pupil names, recordings or sensitive information. Poster responses stay with your school.
