## Caption

A ban on smartphones in schools in England comes into force today, making individual schools and trusts legally responsible for being phone-free throughout the day.

It is separate from the recently announced ban on social media for under-16s, and the government said the move would give "legal force to what schools are already doing in practice".

Tap the link in BBCNews’s bio for more info on the ban.
