E-Safety at Include London

We live in unprecedented times, all students and staff will be using a range of online learning platforms to support their education. Please refer to our Covid-19 Safeguarding Addendum for guidance and information on how to stay safe online. The websites below include links on how to stay safe online.  

New technologies are an integral part within every aspect of life in today’s society, both within educational establishments and in their lives outside school. The Internet and other digital information technologies open up new opportunities for everyone. Electronic communication helps teachers and pupils learn from each other. These technologies can stimulate discussion, promote creativity and increase awareness of context to promote effective learning. However, the use of these new technologies can put young people at risk within and outside the school.​

​At Catch22 Include London, Freston Road and The Phoenix Centre, to help combat these dangers we ensure all our staff and students understand the risks by highlighting these issues in PSHE lessons and our school internet use policy. You will find information about our E-safety approach in our E-Safety policy below.

Some of the dangers pupils may face include:

• Access to illegal, harmful, or inappropriate images or other content
