I wanted some other viewpoints before deciding what, if anything, I should do.
I work in a nursery, so our policies on using mobiles may be different to schools.
Out of the window while at work I saw a member of the after school club staff using her mobile in the playground while she was supposed to be supervising the children.
The fact that she had hidden round the corner away from any other adults made me watch her closely.
She was only on for a minute or so, but it doesn't sit well with me.
We are not allowed to use our mobiles at all while working, and they have to be locked away while we are working. Even parents are not allowed to use their mobiles whilst on the premises.
But, are schools and after school clubs the same?
I really feel I should mention it to the person who runs the after school club, as a basic safeguarding measure, not only for the children but for the member of staff.
Any thoughts?

What is your school's policy on staff and mobiles while working?
