The Impact of Phone Bans and Restrictions in Schools
Presented by Life Lessons, this webinar explores the current debate around mobile phone bans in schools and their impact on student wellbeing, trust, and communication.
We’ll be joined by Professor Jessica Ringrose (IOE, UCL), Professor of Sociology of Gender and Education, who is leading a new research project, and Hayley Clark from the NSPCC, who will share how the organisation approaches phone bans and restrictions in the context of their work with children and schools.
This session will:
- Present a series of case studies exploring how phone bans and restrictions have been implemented and experienced.
- Facilitate open discussion on differing perspectives and practical considerations around phone use policies.
- Invite schools, educators, and professionals to get involved in the next phase of the research.
Whether you’re shaping policy, leading in a school, or simply curious, this is a valuable opportunity to join the conversation and help shape a more evidence-informed approach.
