Echo this. You don’t need pouches or expensive kit to do this. Lockable cupboards, trained staff, and well run systems.
I’ve seen schools that claim to have bans-and some of them even use costly equipment- but weak enforcement and monitoring, which is as useful as not having a ban, ie useless.

That wasn’t always possible so we ended up doing junk activities- i.e. very low impact but ‘fun’/waste of time, lest SLT blame our ‘boring’ lessons for poor behaviour.
Again?
