"Miss McShea, who has joined as a claimant, says she feels the Department for Education (DfE) has failed to protect her and other children from harm inflicted by phones during school hours. She said using smartphones completely changed my life from year 7 onwards. I was exposed to pornography and violent videos, like beheading videos. I was sent a video of two young children who had found a gun and one of them accidentally shot the other one, Miss McShea said. I had to go home. There were a lot of incidents like that and a lot of my friends had the same experiences."

McShea joined as a claimant and alleges the Department for Education failed to protect children from harms caused by phones during school hours. She reports that smartphone use from year 7 exposed her to pornography and violent videos, including beheading footage and a clip of young children with a gun, and that such incidents forced her to leave school and affected many peers. The legal claim seeks a complete ban on smartphones in schools.
