Make it illegal for schools to deny students access to the toilets.

What the petition asks
Me, and most students from others schools are sick of schools having the right to deny students access during the toilets during lesson time, it is a human right. It’s not fair that only students with medical conditions are allowed in the toilets.
It’s a basic human right to use the toilets, even during lesson time, 5 minutes in one lesson won’t damage learning. Sitting in a seat for 4-5 hours everyday without being able to use the toilets isn’t right.
