Use of Mobile Phones and Other Similar Devices in Schools Survey

Overview

The Department of Education has launched a survey for schools and EOTAS settings to gather information on current approaches to pupils’ use of personal mobile devices. 

The new guidance on pupils’ personal use of mobile phones and other similar devices during the school day is available at DE Circular 2024/14 Guidance for Schools on Pupils’ Personal Use of Mobile Phones and other Similar Devices During the School Day

Why your views matter

The Department would encourage you to take the time to consider and respond to the survey.

The survey will run from 30 September 2024 until 11 October 2024. 

Responses are encouraged/preferred through the Citizen Space survey.

After the survey is completed, the Department will review and use the findings to inform future policy decisions.   Schools will be notified about the pilot programme in due course.
