Require primary schools to have separate male and female changing facilities

What the petition asks
Require primary schools to have different changing rooms for male and female students. I want the Government to put in place a requirement so that opposite sexes in primary schools ages 4-11 do not get changed together.
Many children and parents are not comfortable with the opposite sex getting changed in front of one another in schools due to some starting puberty earlier than others. It makes some children feel uncomfortable. They should not have to be made to feel this way in school.
