🌐Facial recognition in policing, is it being used the right way in Cheshire?

That's one of the big ethical questions our independent Ethics Panel is looking at. And right now, we're recruiting new members to help shape how those decisions get made.

No policing background needed. Just an interest in doing things fairly and holding public services to account.

Another Cheshire school becomes phone-free!📵

Congratulations to The Ellesmere Port C of E College which is receiving funding thanks to the Phone-Free Education campaign in Cheshire led by Dan Price, alongside Esther Ghey's national initiative.

Schools that have already adopted this approach are seeing results. In one school, safeguarding incidents linked to phones have dropped by 80%, while behaviour improved by 95%.⚡️

If you’re a school who’s not signed up yet, head to our website and find out how to access funding to help you go phone free.👇

From Monday 1st June 2026, all pupils will place their smart devices in a secure pouch while on site.

Changes like this are most successful when schools and families work together, and we thank you for your ongoing support. 🤝
