"What is the policy about children bringing phones to school?"
We do not allow children to bring mobile devices into school. The exception to this would be an eReader (e.g. Kindle), which promotes reading and wouldn't have internet access in school.
"What are the age ratings for the most popular apps?"
Please see here to find the age ratings for the apps your child is using.
"Are there any case studies of things gone wrong?"
Please see below for links to articles where eSafety has 'gone wrong'.

"What can we do about ad. supported apps?"
Android apps indicate in the Play Store whether an app has advertisements.
iOS doesn't indicate whether an app has advertisements, but we can infer they do if they offer an ad-free version of the same app.
