School mobile phone ban mooted

Schools in West Lothian could become the first in Scotland to rule out mobile phone cameras in the playground if council leaders agree to a ban, according to the BBC.

"The council's education committee is considering a mobile phone report. There is concern over the use of mobile phone cameras to take pictures of pupils without their permission.

The ban is being proposed in the interests of "safety, security and well-being". A decision is due to be taken on Tuesday."
