A safer way to use video in GDST classrooms
Teachers reach for YouTube because it's quick and familiar, but it comes with ads, autoplay, and videos no one has checked. With 88% of teachers reporting unsafe or inappropriate content in lessons, the pressure on schools to act is only growing.This comes at a time when the UK government is banning under-16s from YouTube, so it's a good time to give your school a safer, ad-free alternative for the classroom.Espresso is now on ClickView with thousands more videos and resources, so it's worth another look if it didn't suit you. Every GDST school can access it free until 31 January 2027.
