Phone Free Education
Campaign to get mobile phones out of the classroom
Esther Ghey started the campaign Phone Free Education in memory of her daughter Brianna, who was murdered. Before her death suffered deeply with her mental health after being exposed online to harmful content.
Esther knows that Brianna was not alone in there - across the country students and teachers are struggling with the impact of phones in the classroom.
Phones are distracting students, increasing safeguarding risks, and harming mental health. Ofcom found that 4 out of 5 teachers said are regularly disrupted by phones, and 3 out of 4 students access inappropriate content during class.
I believe school should be a place of focus, connection and protection for our children. I want to use my story to campaign for change for every child. I hope you will join me.
— Esther Ghey
Phone Free Education has become one of the leading voices in calling for the mobile phone ban in schools. And this year after much campaigning the Parliament just voted to bring in a statutory ban. This is a massive breakthrough moment for the campaign But Esther is still calling for two things, to properly support our children:
- A Statutory Age Threshold of 16+ for social media platforms
- Proper funding for schools to implement phone-free policies effectively and safely

Collective Punishment Campaign
When someone goes to prison, it has a profound impact not only on them as an individual, but on their children and family. And though parental imprisonment is recognised as an adverse children experience (ACE), the state does not provide any automatic support to those who live through it.
