Petition Action

Stop schools restricting pupils access to toilet facilities.

Petition Details

Stop schools from restricting access toilet facilities, if a child needs to go to the toilet they should be allowed to. Blanket measures like locking toilets during lesson time is impacting all children instead of dealing with the minority who abuse them.

Additional Information

Our children should have the right to visit the toilet when needed. Schools are implementing policies that are detrimental to our children's continence and mental health. Despite guidance from both Healthcare organisations and The National Union of Teachers to not restrict toilet access schools are implementing policies that do, such has locking toilets.
