Rejected petition Make it illegal for a teacher/tutor to say no for a child to go to the toilet.
It should be illegal for a teacher to say no to a child if they need to go to the toilet.As a young girl who has cried to their teacher to let them go to the toilet I find it unacceptable that it’s legal for a teacher to say no.They should say yes even if you don’t have a toilet pass.
More details
It is unfair , unacceptable and cruel that teachers are allowed to say no for a student to go to the toilet.The amount of problems this has caused is ridiculous.
