What the petition asks
Change the law to prohibit schools from using cctv cameras inside childrens school toilets.
Children in schools should have the right to privacy in the toilets.
Childrens are already being watched by cctv in most areas of their life.
Children are already conscious about their body image without cameras watching over them in toilets.
Children use sink areas for hygiene purposes.
Girls can suffer from heavy periods and sometimes like to freshen up using their toilets as a place of privacy
Children feel embarrassed and uncomfortable knowing they are being watched when going to the toilet or to use wash basins.
CCTV in childrens school toilets will effect the way children view the new world and will only deepen any mental health they may be going through.
