In 2024, Policy Exchange published our report Disconnect, which found that only 11% of English secondary schools had an effective ban, and that schools with effective smartphone bans were more than twice as likely to be rated outstanding by Ofsted. Previous events on this subject include an event to mark the launch of The Anxious Generation with Jonathan Haidt (2024) and Smartphones, Friend or Foe? Protecting Children in the Social Media Age (2025).
