Petition Withdraw guidance recommending ban on mobile phones in schools

The Government has introduced guidance recommending that schools ban mobile phones.

More details

Mobile phones are important to safety for thousands of students, a way to message their parents and check their lessons. We believe it would also improve the mental health of students if they were allowed to have their phones. We think the recommended bans are not fair, and could impact the safety of students.
