Petition Action

Ban schools from not allowing children to go to the toilet.

Petition Details

Introduce legislation which makes it illegal for teachers to not allow students to go to the toilet during school hours. Furthermore, harsh penalties should be in place for teachers who will not abide by these laws.

Additional Information

Recently, my school has introduced rules preventing students to go to the toilet during school hours. This is not only violating human rights, but has many other negative unseen elements. For example, not being able to go to the toilet increases risks of bladder problems later on in life, along with reducing concentration in lessons. This will eventually lead to worse results in exams.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

This is a matter for individual schools and teachers. Decisions on policies regarding when students can leave the classroom are a matter for individual schools, not the UK Government or House of Commons.
