Lord Hampton (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 May 2025

Debate

Schools: Mobile Phones

Contribution

My Lords, as a teacher, I have never taught in a school that allowed mobile phones. The Minister said that mobile phones had no place in schools, while giving head teachers autonomy to make decisions. The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill is taking away autonomy from head teachers. Is it not time we just had a blanket ban on mobile phones?
