Both primary and secondary schools will be subject to the ban on mobile phones at school. Victoria was the first state in Australia to implement the mobile phone ban based on recommendations that this will create a better learning environment. The new policy will be students turn their mobile phone off and store them in a lockable security container or a lockable locker or school safe or school security cabinet until school ends for the day. If there happens to be an emergency and parents have to contact their child they simply call the school.

Safeguard Safes can provide schools with helpful information on a mobile storage safe that has proven to be effective in the secure storage of mobile phones away from the risk of theft or damage.Our large capacity heavy duty mobile phone storage safes provide ideal protection to eliminate the risk of burglary and fire attack whilst also removing the issue of mobile phones being stolen. Mobile phones are expensive so they are prime target for criminals.

Our commercial grade mobile phone cabinets are multi purpose allowing other school items to be stored in them also, such as documents, files, computer accessories and other important assets.
