Labour — Whitehaven and Workington

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 November 2026

Debate

Mobile Phones in Schools

Contribution

I thank my hon. Friend for flagging this issue. The edtech certification process that is out for consultation today asks questions about this, and the intention is for the design of the scheme to go beyond classroom edtech and apply to edtech that may enable the smooth running of a school. That includes complex technical questions about things such as data privacy and collection.
