Prevent schools from restricting access/locking toilets for students

Prevent schools from restricting access/locking toilets for students — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

It should be a legal requirement that students in primary/secondary schools in the UK have access to toilet facilities throughout the school day, regardless of if you have a medical condition.

Additional details

Many schools around the UK are restricting access to toilets for students, whilst this may be suitable on a case by case basis, it is not suitable to ban toilet use during specific periods of a school day. The restriction of toilet facilities can lead to UTI's, dehydration, anxiety and embarrassment for students. There is nowhere else in society where toilet facilities are restricted, even prisoners are allowed access too toilets 24/7.
