Rejected petition STOP SCHOOLS FROM LOCKING TOILETS DURING SCHOOL
Rejected on
Stop schools from locking toilets during school time
The administration at Balerno Community High School have decided locking toilets during school-time is the way forward. We are a school of 800+ and during lessons we have to share 2 toilets, sadly, sometimes the toilets aren‘t re-opened during lunch and break, causing queues. 1 of the 2 open toilets has a glass window above the door and directly opens into a corridor, a clear breach of privacy. Blockages are common, stopping the flush from functioning, rendering the 2 toilets we have useless.

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The Scottish Government and Scottish Parliament are responsible for schools in Scotland. That means that the UK Government and Parliament can't look into it.
