The House of Lords has backed a school phone ban. This risks inadvertently making support for young carers in schools worse, not better. That's because many young carers will feel great anxiety for the person they care for at home if they are not able to speak to them when necessary. We are calling for young carers to be included within any exemptions from this ban.
