Petition Nears 10,000 Signatures to Require UK Schools to Allow Toilet Access at All Times

The drive spotlights claims that locked toilets harm pupils' health.

Overview

  • The petition, launched by Kerry Sutton, seeks mandatory all-day toilet access for pupils in UK schools.
  • Roughly 9,800 people had signed as of Friday, placing it just short of the 10,000 threshold for an official government response.
  • Supporters say restrictions lead to dehydration, anxiety, and difficulties managing menstruation.
  • There is currently no law preventing schools from locking toilets during parts of the day.
  • If the petition reaches 100,000 signatures, it can be considered for a Parliamentary debate.
