I do note that the #DfE have not clarified their position on #BYOD provision for 6th form / "reasonable adjustments" mobile phones, which I raised with them last year.
Both the new and previous guidance *appear* to prohibit #schools from providing BYOD networks in those cases, which I don't think is the intent, but the DfE gave a rather wordy non-reply when I questioned it. :(
#BBC is reporting that "new #guidance" says that #children must not use mobile phones in #schools in England. But this has been the case for the past 2 years!
The #DfE published new guidance a couple of weeks ago and the article goes on to say that the previous guidance "did not deliver the clarity or consistency that schools need". From a quick scan of the updated guidance it doesn't look hugely different from the previous guidance, so why this is presented as new?
We continue our work on papers from our multi-arm trials in the "Education for #Wellbeing" programme.
#PeerReview comments were a great opportunity to catch up with colleagues over the revisions!

Currently wading through 187 pages of Keeping Children Safe in Education. The #DfE saw fit to publish the latest edition moments before school's broke up for the summer, with the expectation that they would implement the new recommendations from September, which seems somewhat mean.
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) in education - this is the The Department for Education’s (DfE) position on the use of generative AI in the education sector, updated in January 2025.
