I posted this on the primary talk but someone asked me about secondary so hope you don't mind me sharing this here. It's produced by the Home Office and mobile phone companies. It's resources for schools but there is a letter that can be give out to parents, can you take it or email it to school so it can be sent out? I never realised how big the problem was!
The letter is here:

It says it's for primary but I don't see why secondary parents should be left out! I've got DDs in both and I would want other parents to know.
Thanks!
