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

Expert Input on Lithium Fire Suppression Technologies

A GLOBAL SEARCH FOR SAFETY: Bridging the Gap in Lithium Fire Defense The research is my own, but the mission is for all of us. As I delve into the chemical complexities of lithium-ion battery fires, my goal is clear: to find a solution that effectively supports our first responders and communities. Traditional water and foam methods often fall short against the intensity of thermal runaway. Through my research and industry connections, I have focused on an innovation from Georgia, USA: FCL-X (Full Circle Lithium). I share this today not as a finished answer, but as a collaborative mindset. Your involvement is crucial. Why FCL-X stands out in my research: - It is not just a coolant; it is a molecular disruptor designed for the unique chemistry of lithium. - Neutralizes the Charge: It is the only agent I’ve found that reduces thermal output by 20% immediately by neutralizing the internal electrical charge. - Molecular Armor: It penetrates the battery vents to coat internal components, stopping the oxidation chain reaction at the source. - The Gold Standard: It has achieved the NTA 8133 certification—the world's most rigorous lithium fire standard—proving zero re-ignition for over 24 hours. - Global Trust: It is already being deployed by industry leaders like US Fire Pump and global corporations like ITOCHU. To the Global Safety Community: I seek your input. I have dedicated my efforts to this cause because I believe in a safer green transition. This is my search, and I need your expert ideas. If you have more new technology, please share. Let's raise awareness and create solutions together.

Questions on Children’s Data Privacy in Nigeria for Digital Child Series

“A child is not a data point. A child is not a metric. A child shouldn’t be profiled.” Last Thursday at the 7th Privacy Symposium Africa 2025, I shared the stage with data privacy professionals Alex Onyia Confidence Osein Mercy Matthew Edith Utete Afolabi Khadijah Ifeoma Peters, speaking on protecting children’s privacy rights as they explored online learning platforms. We discussed the intersection of data privacy and children’s rights. My stance was simple: Parents, schools, and EdTech companies must move from being passive users to active Guardians. a. Turning privacy policies into fun, bite-sized checklists (the legal stuff should be left for lawyers) b. Teaching kids about the importance of data privacy – the what's to share and what-not-to's. It was intense, insightful, and exactly the kind of conversation we need to be having in this industry. But after the applause, the real work began. During the networking session (shoutout to Tife Ekundayo (CIPP/E, LL.M) , we reached the core – collection and retention of data, addressing the need for data minimisation. We concluded that most "Privacy Policies" were unreadable, dull legal sentences that failed at the one thing they were meant to do – educate the data subjects. Conversations with parents over the week made me realise that: 1. Most don't know what data is being collected on their kids. 2. Most don’t understand the concept and power of consent. 3. Most are unaware of the permanent footprint left by "Sharenting." I attended to share my opinions but left with a fresh perspective, a notebook full of ideas and a new network of privacy advocates. Exploring one of the ideas has led me to officially launch a new content series: The Digital Child. 🧒🏾📱 This isn't just for lawyers and data privacy enthusiasts, but also: For Parents: I will break down how to protect your child’s digital identity without banning technology. For EdTech & Startups: I will explain core child rights concepts that enable you to build "Safety by Design" in line with data protection laws, so you gain trust. Watch the full panel session here: https://lnkd.in/dJhFDiPH 👇 CTA: I am looking to feature questions from real parents, founders, and anyone newly navigating the data privacy space in Nigeria in this series. What is the one thing that confuses you most about children's data privacy? Drop it in the comments, and I’ll answer it in the first edition, which will be released next Tuesday. Special thanks to Sempala Allan Kigozi and the organisers for a wonderful time. Privacy is a duty of care. One we owe to the kids who will design our future. #DataPrivacy #PSA2025 #Childrights #PrivacySymposiumAfrica2025 P.S. I stole the first sentence from my fellow panelist Confidence Osein 🙈

Fintech Experts on Tech Impact for Payday Loans - QuickLoanPro.com

How is technology transforming the payday loan industry, and is it actually improving things for borrowers? Most discussions about payday loans stop at “they’re bad” vs “people need options” – and skip the messy middle where the actual technology is changing how this stuff works. 💸 If you look under the hood, a lot of short-term lenders are quietly turning into fintech stacks: – smartphone-only applications instead of storefronts – automated underwriting powered by scoring models and alternative data – open banking-style access to bank accounts to verify cash flow – instant payment rails to push money out faster – regtech layers that log every step for audits and regulatory exams While working on a piece for QuickLoanPro.com, what stood out is that these tools can make lending more efficient, more consistent and more transparent – but they can also be used to scale bad practices faster if no one’s watching how they’re configured. Curious what this sub thinks: – do you see tech as an opportunity to make small-dollar lending less harmful, or just a way to put a slick UX on the same old problems? – are there innovations (earned wage access, better installment structures, hard caps in code, etc.) that you think push things in the right direction? – for anyone working in risk/compliance: how realistic is true “compliance-by-design” in this space? Interested in more nuanced takes than just “burn it down” or “it’s fine as is”.

Tech Sources on CRE Innovation & Trends for GlobeSt.com

I regularly cover technology topics for GlobeSt.com (commercial real estate site). I’m looking for potential topics. They must have broader reach than what a particular company is going. Things like a recent close on an investment series for a startup alone isn’t of interest, though it might be a minor point in something bigger. If the pitch is, “see how wonderful this company is,” please don’t send it. Also, nothing bland and predictable like “AI is going to be important,” as stories like that are rampant. If you go to GlobeSt.com and go to the CRE tech center (https://www.globest.com/cre-tech-center/), you can find many examples of these types of stories.
