Mobile Phones: Can employer ban employees from bringing them into work

Capaill's suggestion is the most sensible one so far in my opinion and should be followed up when all parties are available to meet. Avoiding the issues just exacerbates the problem and stress for all concerned.
 
I agree with Capaill and we're working towards it. It looks like it will go to a vote, but I'd hate to see the ban coming in if its not strictly legal.
 
It certainly isn't illegal to use a mobile phone at work. But an employer is entitled to set the terms and conditions of employment, within reason.

If the use of mobile phones (either calling or texting) is being abused, it may be reasonable for the employer to impose restrictions. He/she may reasonably argue that attentin was being unreasonably diverted from the care and attention of the children.
