Thanks Hi Belle This is one of my pet hates, I presume you mean staff using their own mobile phones during session times? In our staff induction manual we state that they may only be used during official break times, if they need to be contacted in an emergency then they should use the pre-school phone.

dublinbay Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 We're the same as Debbie and it is stated in the staff hand book. We find some parents use their mobiles when helping out during a session. Perhaps we need a specific policy for this too, to be included in the parent/helpers booklets.

Cally Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 We have a policy that states " staff may not use mobile phones during working hours at all. All mobile phones should be switched off, or on silent. The setting's telephone number may be given as an emergency contact during working hours" The management do not expect staff to respond to text messages or voicemail during working hours. Friends and family should be made aware of this policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others were really nice but I might use this one if you don't mind. mrsW.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
