Mobile Phones in Workplaces and School?

Break times and home time only. They are definitely not needed in school lessons nor when a person is supposed to be attending to work. Urgent calls can and should be directed to the work landline or the manager.

They should not be used in work time but think should be accessible at break time.

schools no, but in the workplace i dont see what the issue if you are getting work done.

Yeah I think there should be phones in school most kids walk home by themselves so I think it's good that they have them but should be off during school and as for the work place my other half works nights and he's not allowed his phone with him so it's in his locker but if anything was to happen here with me or the kids there is no way of me getting Intouch with him as the office is closed and there is no one to answer the phones in the night but all work places are different

I think phones should be allowed but during break times only, but saying that when I was at work and the internet or phone lines went down we could carry on as used own own personal phones to do the work needed.

I agree they probably should not be allowed, however it’s so hard to enforce that i can see why it isn’t strictly enforced. I feel sorry for any teacher that has to try to enforce the non mobile phone rule in school

Phones should be banned, period. My previous job my colleague was always playing games on It and that was during working hours. This job now, someone different but always on the thing. I said every time I see you you are glued to that darn thing. No answer. The worst thing ever Invented If you ask me. I hardly use mine at all.

In schools phones should be handed to the tutor or in the locker and it should be given back at the end of school time.

Regarding workplace, strict policies that phones only to be used in lunch time or if needed to use in urgent then discuss the matter with manager beforehand so they are aware of it.

We're not allowed them in work . So leave it in bag , I have a walkie talkie to communicate if needs be .

I'm not an advocate of mobile phones so I would say that they are not necessary when people should either be working or getting an education.

Depends on what you do for a living. At my place of work you have to leave the building.its not policy but we've no signal inside cos we are in a valley and next to a dam for a reservoir

Schools no. Work it depends on usage I need one for work, a no to personal things though

I think for work, using your phone during break time should be fine. Also for emergencies too.
