We have my daughter’s iPhone setup with a passcode for the screen time settings to manage when she uses the phone.
But she would like a passcode to be set on her phone so that nobody else can open the phone when she goes to school. Same as I use mine for work etc. I can’t seem to find a way of setting this for her. Any suggestions?

ScreenTime shouldn't prevent use of a passcode, just changing it if that is what you have chosen when setting up the phone.
If she has set up FaceID, that may be used instead of a passcode unless you disable Face ID.

Thanks for this but the “Face ID & Passcode” option in settings doesn’t come up. Could this be because it is set up as child account?
Any other suggestions would be great.
