flag West Berkshire Council to review youth phone and social media use amid new non-mandatory school phone-free guidance.

flag West Berkshire Council plans a review of smartphone and social media use among youth, following new guidance urging schools to be phone-free by default, though compliance is not mandatory. flag While many schools already enforce strict phone bans, a University of Birmingham study finds such rules alone don’t reduce overall screen time or address harms like poor sleep and cyberbullying. flag Students often shift device use to home, affecting homework and physical activity, and online conflicts may move into school hours. flag Experts stress that lasting solutions require family involvement, digital wellbeing education, and strategies beyond school walls.
