Fulham Boys School will start the new school year with a policy of so-called brick phones only for pupils aged between 11 and 16 amid concerns that smartphones were being used to watch porn and harmful influencers like the misogynist Andrew Tate.
Almost 80 percent of parents surveyed also want their child's school to do more to educate pupils about the dangers of social media, underlining a pressing demand for more protection.
In relation to simply banning phones for under 16s, I don't think that's a good idea. I don't think that's a practical way forward, said Starmer.
According to the UK parents surveyed by HMD, 61 percent said they were concerned about their child's phone use and the content they were accessing during their summer holiday break.
