Learn Live

Learn Live is an innovative, interactive, moderated online channel that brings a world of opportunity and experiences directly into the classroom, home, or business. Each interactive Learn Live broadcast can be attended by an unlimited number of schools/colleges, job seekers or businesses simply by logging into the channel via a browser. The broadcasts can be customised to showcase an organisation’s key messages, provide live video feeds, play and share interactive video content and applications and act as a repository of information that can be downloaded by teachers and students. It has a secure, moderated live chat facility that can be used with iPads, iPhones, Apple TV, PC/ laptop, Macs, and Android devices.

Learn Live continuously links schools/colleges/universities to employers. All broadcasts on the Learn Live are recorded and used for future reference to assist in the learning process and to improve presentation delivery. Learn Live is free to access and does not require any additional equipment to be purchased or procured to interact with the live broadcasts. All broadcasts and the promotion of these broadcasts within the school or training provision is managed by the Learn Live team.

The Rail Safe Friendly Programme

The Rail Safe Friendly programme is run by Learn Live, and it was launched in March 2023 to deliver Network Rail’s video safety content directly to schools via Learn Live. Already, over 11,000 UK schools are on board with the programme and over 100 industry partners from across the rail sector have sponsored and become partners in it.

The programme was launched in March 2023 by Stuart Heaton, Learn Live and Rail Safe Friendly Managing Director, following the tragic death of 11-year-old Harrison Ballantyne who received a fatal electric shock after climbing over a fence to retrieve his football at a train depot.

The Rail Safe Friendly programme is delivered through live or on demand content digitally into classrooms and assembly halls via the Learn Live channel. The channel also has a moderated, GDPR compliant LIVE CHAT facility to promote interaction and involvement from the schools and colleges taking part in Rail Safe Friendly.

The Career Friendly programme is Learn Live’s latest development

The Career Friendly programme was launched in January 2025, building on the success of the Learn Live channel. The Careers Friendly programme provides a visual representation of a school or business with the ability to interact and stay connected using our unique mapping tool.

The goal of Career Friendly is to provide young people with real-world insights into career opportunities, help them develop critical workplace skills, and make informed decisions about their future. We believe that by partnering with businesses such as yours, we can bridge the gap between education and employment, preparing students for successful futures while providing companies with a direct connection to potential future employees.

Over 150 companies and over 1,200 schools have joined the programme from across the UK.Partners include a diverse mix of companies and individuals from different sectors.

The unique mapping tool launched January 2025 to support brand awareness and interaction with an engaged community.

Schools and businesses on the mapping tool are already seeing increased connections and brand awareness.
