Keep school toilets unlocked
There is an increasing trend of locking school lavatories during the school day. Access to these facilities MUST be available at all times and pupils should not have to face the embarrassment of seeking a key holder to use them. The government should make it a basic requirement of all schools to keep these facilities unlocked at all times during the school day.
Why is this important?
Students must be allowed free access to toilets when required. It is a basic right and the imposition of strict rules which restrict this can be harmful to social and medical health. http://www.myschoolgate.co.uk/blog/view/not-being-allowed-to-go-to-the-toilet-during-class-poses-serious-health-risks/
