Page 7 - EYFS Mobile Phones Policy 2021 3.37 p.m.. 19th January 2021

Driving and the law (UK)

The use of hand-held phones while driving, whether to make or receive a call, is prohibited. The only
exception to this will be in the event of a genuine emergency call to 999 or 112, if it would be unsafe for
the driver to stop.

Hand-held mobile phones used with an earphone and microphone are covered under the ban, as they
still require the user to hold the phone to press buttons or to read a message on the phone’s screen.

The Proprietor (Board of Management) and employees of the school will not require any employee to
receive or make calls on a mobile phone while driving. Mobile phones must instead be directed to the
message/voicemail service while driving.

The Headmaster will not assist in the payment of any fine levied against anyone using a hand-held
mobile phone while driving. An employee will be regarded as driving if the engine is running, even if the
vehicle is stationary. Notification of any contravention of these requirements may be regarded as a
disciplinary matter.

Monitoring and Review: This policy is subject to continuous monitoring, refinement and audit by the
RBIS Bangkok Board of Management, which will also undertake a full annual review of this policy and
procedures, inclusive of its implementation and the efficiency with which the related duties have been
discharged. This review will be formally documented in writing. Any deficiencies or weaknesses
recognized in arrangements or procedures will be remedied immediately and without delay. All staff will
be informed of the updated/reviewed policy and it will be made available to them in either hard copy or

electronic format.
