Allow students toilet access during lessons to support well-being.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government or Parliament to require schools to allow children to use the toilet when needed during lessons, not just at break and lunch, to support their health, comfort, and ability to focus in class.

I want the Government or Parliament to require schools to allow toilet access during lessons, not just at break or lunch, because holding in urine can harm the bladder, increase the risk of infection, and, in severe cases, lead to bladder rupture. Denying access can cause discomfort, affect concentration, and negatively impact students' health and well-being, making it essential for schools to adopt a more flexible approach.
