Petition Require schools to allow students to have access to the toilet at any time

I think it is unfair that school children are being refused access to the toilet while they are at school. Some schools have even locked toilets at certain times. We want it to be illegal for school staff to refuse school children access to the toilet.

More details

We believe being refused access to the toilet can have a negative impact on the mental health of students, and is not being properly tackled by the Government. We think refusing requests to go to the toilet is unhygienic and a misuse of power. Some schools say that it is for the safety of pupils which we believe to be idiotic and a breach of human rights.
