Hosted by Sharon Cousins, Vice Principal Adult Programmes and Student Services & NAMSS Executive, this session is a great opportunity to talk about all things student finance, ask questions, share thoughts and learn from others.

Smartphones now sit at the centre of student life, shaping attention, wellbeing, social dynamics and learning in ways many institutions are still trying to understand.

In this free online session, NAMSS and Fluid Focus will explore the challenges staff are facing around student phone use and digital habits, and why this is becoming a growing issue for support, safeguarding and student success.

Drawing on the national Smartphones in Education research, led in collaboration with Dr Paul Redmond, we’ll share key findings, challenge some common assumptions, and examine what an effective institutional response can look like in practice.

We’ll also spotlight a number of Fluid Focus FE partners to show how colleges are beginning to respond.

Building on research led with Dr Paul Redmond; and endorsed by Jonathan Haidt (author of the Anxious Generation).
