Make the switch from ICT services provided by Hampshire County Council

We’ll help you move before the
December 2022 switch off

Our education ICT experts are here to make moving from council services easy. We’re your trusted partner for education.

As you may already know, Hampshire County Council plan to switch off the leased line internet and web content filtering services they’ve been providing to Hampshire schools. If your school uses either of these, you'll need to make alternative plans before the service ends in December 2022. BT can help.
