Key message

In 2018, the NSW Government conducted a Review into the non-educational use of mobile devices in NSW schools.

The full report from the review panel is available on the NSW Department of Education’s website.

The review team consulted students, teachers, parents and experts in the field. The findings are being used to inform departmental policies and school procedures around mobile and other digital devices use in schools.

The NSW Department of Education released the Student Use of Digital Device sand Online Services policy for implementation in all NSW public schools from the start of 2020

Reading the review can provide useful information to contribute to the development of a school's Student Use of Digital Devices and Online Services Procedure.
