Recommendation 8
8
Amend guidance to detail mobile phone storage costs and permit parental contact during commute.
Recommendation
Government guidance must also set out the approximate cost of certain approaches, such as secure storage. The next Government must also ensure parents are not prevented from being able to contact their children during their commute to school. The guidance should be changed as soon as possible to prevent schools from insisting mobile phones are left at home. (Paragraph 45) Support for parents
