Require all education settings provide separate sex toilets from age 4 and up

Closed 346 signatures

What the petition asks

Require all education settings have separate toilets for boys and girls from reception to university age. Anyone in education should have access to a single-sex toilet. If schools want to provide a unisex toilet that should be additional, not there only option.
We believe only providing unisex toilets is a huge safeguarding issue, and can cause significant distress to children who may not be comfortable using these. We want the Government to extend requirements to have single-sex toilets to all educational settings.
