Taking money from criminals to get phones out of schools
Launched at a Phone Free Schools event at the Aureus School in Didcot, this scheme will makes sure schools become properly phone free during the school day. £255,000 to support the project is being taken from criminals, funded by the sale of stolen goods that cannot be returned to their rightful owners and orders against criminals by the courts.
