Require schools to provide separate changing facilities for girls and boys

Closed 40 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the Government to require all schools, including junior and primary, to provide separate changing facilities for girls & boys, for getting changed for PE.
Children can feel uncomfortable getting changed in front of peers of the opposite sex. This can affect boys and girls.

All junior school age children should have the option to access single gender changing rooms or areas.
