Labour — Folkestone and Hythe

Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 February 2025

Debate

Social Media Use: Minimum Age

Contribution

Every school has to comply with the Equality Act 2010. Whatever policy a school puts in place, one would have to check that what they are doing complies with the law. Those sorts of exceptions would obviously have to be looked at very carefully. We do not have to look far to see examples of local areas that have banned smartphones in schools, such as the London borough of Barnet.
