Teacher Quickstart Guide – how to build momentum in your school community
A short, practical playbook for primary school leaders who want to build Smartphone Free Childhood momentum – uniting parents, shaping policy and protecting children from smartphone pressures.
This short guide distils what’s working in schools across the country that are embracing the Smartphone Free Childhood movement. It’s designed for school leaders who want to support families, strengthen policy and create a culture that protects children from smartphone pressures.
Inside, you’ll find a clear, step-by-step overview of how other schools have successfully built momentum for the Parent Pact – a voluntary agreement among families to delay smartphones until 14 and social media until 16. It also offers practical examples of how school policy can align with what parents are building at home, so that everyone pulls in the same direction.
The Teacher Quickstart Guide isn’t a rulebook – it’s a starting point. Every school community is different, and this flexible framework helps leaders adapt the approach to fit their setting. Whether you’re just beginning to explore a smartphone-free policy or ready to deepen the culture you’ve already started, this guide shows how small, confident steps can make a lasting difference.
