Successful Teenage Gatherings

Mobile Phones

• Whilst mobile phones are useful for personal security, be aware that they are a very effective means for students to communicate with other students at different parties to ascertain 'where the action is', leading to potentially difficult situations.
• Investigate whether it is possible to restrict the phone numbers which may be called from your teenager's mobile phone eg emergency and home contacts only.
• Consider requesting that guests leave their mobile phones with their bags/coats in the secured room.
