Mobile phones

A head teacher says pupil exclusions for violence reduced "almost overnight" when phones were banned.

The charity Papaya is also inviting parents to delay giving their child a smartphone until the age of 14.

The phones, no bigger than a cigarette-lighter, were being used to mastermind crimes from inside jail.

A high school challenges staff and students to cut their phone use at home as well as on campus.

Ten Tors Challenge participants say their generation finds it hard to be away from phones and tech.

Children's behaviour has improved at a school where pupils lock their phones away, says head teacher.

One in five girls aged between 13 and 15 reported problems compared with one in 10 boys that age.

Pupils at two high schools in Edinburgh will have to keep their mobiles in lockable pouches during the day under a new phone-free policy.
