What the petition asks
Change policies across all of the educational sectors, specially preschoolers and early years education.
A system should be in place to allow Children to be safe when unsupervised in the toilets. This must change across all of the educational sectors especially preschoolers and early years education.
Teachers and nursery teachers should have a system in place where they have to take responsibility of the children's welfare even on toilet break. Unfortunately children are being abused in toilets over and over again. Children's credibility is questioned but no adult can support the allegations.

Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about child welfare in some early years settings, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
Early years settings are already responsible for the welfare of all children in their care, including when they go to the bathroom, so it's not clear what you want to be done differently.
If you are concerned that a child has been abused you should report this: https://www.gov.uk/report-child-abuse
