UK School Leaders & Safeguarding on Legal Smartphone Ban Policies

Today the House of Lords is back on familiar territory, debating whether smartphones should be banned in schools as part of the wider Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill and the growing push to reshape children’s relationship with phones and social media. Behind that headline is a much more nuanced reality: A new House of Commons Library briefing shows that in England there is still no statutory ban, but schools are expected to prohibit mobile and smart device use during the day through their behaviour policies, while Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are each taking slightly different routes on restriction and local discretion. The research is equally uncomfortable. UNESCO, OECD, WHO and others link phones to distraction, behaviour issues, bullying and mental health concerns, yet some international data suggests simple bans do not automatically translate into better results or wellbeing. In my article I look at this through a risk lens and the “5 Ts” of risk response, including an option many leaders are now considering: - Banning smartphones, but still allowing basic brick phones for emergency contact. If you are in school leadership, safeguarding or governance: 1. Where do you stand on a legal smartphone ban in schools? 2. What is your current phone policy in practice, not just on paper? 3. Have you seen any clear shift in behaviour, learning or wellbeing? #mentalhealth #technologyrisk #risktreatment #education #politics

Freelancer Burnout-Free Visibility Tips for Freelancer Magazine

Personally, I don't think 'being more visible' should require a personality transplant. Or, ideally, a nervous breakdown. Loads of people talk about how we all need to 'show up more', or 'just be consistent'... but I haven't seen many people talk about the energy cost. It can take a lot of thought and energy, right? I remember Visibility Royalty Samantha Harman pointing out that though being visible is valuable - many would argue necessary, especially for freelancers - "LinkedIn isn't your job". It's a tough balance though. So for the next issue of Freelancer Magazine (theme: 𝘊𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 – 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 & 𝘔𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨), I’d love to hear from you: 🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁? I'm not asking for what you think you should do, or some productivity bro fantasy, I genuinely want to know what actually works for you, as a human. 😊 It could be: – a habit – a boundary – a format you’ve stuck with – something you’ve stopped doing Honest responses EXTREMELY welcome. Drop a line below if you’re happy to be featured - I’ll be including a selection in the issue... #JournoRequest #FreelanceLife Sophie Cross Angela Lyons Mary Cummings ps: Picture of me by the sea, trying not to thinking about social media posts...

Reporters on Newsroom Accessibility-Northeast for The Word

Editors, reporters, and others in the news-o-sphere: If you haven't been reading the magazine The Word from Equal Access Public Media, you're missing out on great interviews, analysis, and opinions on accessibility (and more) in journalism. Check it out at https://the-word.news. I have been taking off the editor hat a little more to report and write a bit more. On that note, I'm actually looking for reporters who might be interested in letting me interview them for a couple pieces I have in mind. Yes, this right here is a journo-request seeking other journalists. •Do you work at a news outlet and your job is actually accessibility? I'd love to hear from you! I'd like to do the "day-in-a-life-of" the newsroom accessibility coordinator or visuals accessibility expert at a news outlet. Would especially help if you are in the Northeast so I could shadow you in person for a couple of hours so we could really do the "day-in-a-life-of" properly. •Do you cover politics and you go the extra mile in your stories and on social media to make it understandable because you want to reach as many people as possible? To explain the jargon? To really let your news audience know what those elected officials are talking about? To demystify the process and the bills? Reach out to me. I'd love to interview about making politics more accessible. • Are you out there covering the anti-ICE protests? Did you cover protests in the past? Do you have a lot of experience in covering protests? I'd love to talk to you about the best way to cover protests, including how to keep yourself safe. (Also, if you are a neurodivergent reporter out there covering protests, I'm really curious to talk to you.) I am very flexible with my fellow journalists when it comes to interviewing because, well, we're all busy working journalists. I know I personally am wearing quite a few hats. Feel free to reach out to me! [email redacted] or on Signal, stacykess.01. #JournoRequest #News #NewsForJournalists #NonprofitNews

UK-Middle East-South Asia Business Leaders for AMG Profiling

Hi all, I’m currently working on founder and senior business leader profiling for Asian Media Group (AMG), focusing on leaders based in the UK, the Middle East, and South Asian countries. This profiling work centres on leadership judgment, business-building, scale, and long-term decision-making. The coverage will include written profiles and recorded video interviews, which may be published across AMG’s web platforms, digital publications, and social media handles. All features are editorial in nature and subject to review. Asian Media Group is one of the UK’s most established Asian media houses, with a multi-decade legacy and a broad editorial footprint across business, entrepreneurship, retail and trade, healthcare and pharmacy, hospitality, property, and leadership coverage. Alongside its publications, AMG is widely recognised for its annual Rich Lists, power and leadership lists, and a calendar of prestigious awards and industry events held every year, integrated across print, digital, video, and live platforms. If you represent a founder, business leader, or corporate organisation that should be considered for profiling, please send a pitch to [email redacted] with a brief leader introduction, company overview, publicly shareable client or partnership details, and why the profile is relevant at this stage. When sending your email, please use the subject line: “AMG Editorial Profiling." #Mediaquery #PRs #Profiling #Journorequest #company #UK #MiddleEast #SouthAsia #pharmacy #realeastate #founders #entrepreneurs #business #feature
