Smartphones Ban in Schools

I've been reporting at the biggest secondary school in Sheffield, Ecclesfield School as a ban on smartphones in schools in England comes into force making individual schools and trusts legally responsible for being phone-free throughout the day.

Heat

I reported from South Yorkshire this week as temperatures reached more than 30 degrees celsius. We filmed at Wales High School and Byron Lodge care home to see how they're coping in the heat.

Volunteers

I've been filming with people who give up their time to volunteer in South Yorkshire as data shows there's been a drop in the number of people volunteering in our region. In 2020, 1.7 million adults volunteered at least once a month in Yorkshire and the Humber but that's now fallen to 1.4 million last year. I’ve been filming at Wentworth Woodhouse, the Sheffield and Tinsley Canal and Gleadless Scout Group to find out how volunteers make such a difference.
