Sixty schools in north London are revising their phone policies after campaigning.

Smartphone Free Childhood (SFC) is encouraging parents to delay smartphone purchases until children are at least 14 .

Campaigners say children need smartphones to be able to navigate the internet safely.

Some parents are conflicted on whether an outright ban is the way forward.

Dr Faye Begeti is a neurology doctor and neuroscientist who emphasises the importance of this. On Instagram she said children need to understand why removing phones from classrooms is necessary, to enable them to build healthier digital habits when they get older. She shared these tips on how this could be achieved (it's for parents too): Source: The Phone Fix book, by Dr Faye Begeti Listen to the best of BBC Radio London on Sounds and follow BBC London on Facebook, X and Instagram.
