Rejected petition Make it illegal for schools to deny students access to the toilets.

Me, and most students from others schools are sick of schools having the right to deny students access during the toilets during lesson time, it is a human right. It’s not fair that only students with medical conditions are allowed in the toilets.

More details

It’s a basic human right to use the toilets, even during lesson time, 5 minutes in one lesson won’t damage learning. Sitting in a seat for 4-5 hours everyday without being able to use the toilets isn’t right.
