Implementing DfE Mobile Phone Guidance

The DfE expects schools to prohibit mobile phone use throughout the school day, including during breaks. Schools must have a clear, consistently applied policy — Generation Faraday bags provide a visible, auditable solution that satisfies this requirement.

Unlike phone lockers or collection points, Generation Faraday bags stay with the pupil, eliminating bottlenecks, reducing loss risk and providing individual accountability tracked through the Generation Faraday App.

Template language you can adapt: define when bags must be sealed, consequences for non-compliance, and how compliance data from the Generation Faraday App supports your behaviour policy review cycle.

Use the Generation Faraday App's compliance reports to demonstrate consistent policy enforcement during inspections. Export termly summaries showing adherence rates by year group.
