Mobile phones in schools – parent/carer survey
The Scottish Government published Guidance on mobile phones in schools in August 2024.
Many schools introduced restrictions to mobile phone use during the school day. The detail of these restrictions can vary from school to school. Mobile phone use in primary schools is not permitted following a decision by the Education, Children and Families Committee in 2025.
The Education, Children and Families Committee is considering banning or restricting phone use in all schools. The council is also considering lockable pouches to support restrictions on mobile phone use in secondary schools, and lockable cabinets in primary schools.
The committee knows that not everyone feels the same way about this and would like to know what you think. They are also asking pupils and school staff and for their views. All the feedback you share will help the council reach a decision.
