Behaviour in Schools 2022: What It Means for Device Management

Behaviour in Schools (2022) emphasises a whole-school approach to behaviour management. Mobile phone policies must be part of this — not a standalone rule but embedded in your behaviour culture.

The framework stresses that rules must be applied consistently by all staff. Generation Faraday bags create a binary check — bag sealed or not — removing ambiguity and staff discretion issues.

The guidance recommends proportionate consequences. The Generation Faraday App's compliance monitoring helps identify patterns, enabling pastoral intervention before escalation rather than reactive punishment.

For multi-academy trusts, the framework expects consistent standards. The Generation Faraday App's trust-level dashboard ensures all schools within a MAT are applying the same policy with visible metrics.
