Finally, it is certainly possible for young carers to have dumb phones. They have talked about the relief when, instead of carrying their phone, it is in the school office, and the school office can come and get them quickly if there is a problem. They will not have their phone if they are in the swimming pool or playing sports, but there are ways to make sure that they are contactable. We need to think about this as carefully as we can and not, as somebody said, feel that the exceptions undermine the principle.
