Listening to a piece on school toilets and I didn't realise that they aren't covered by the same rules and regulations as adult toilets.

No locks, soap or regular cleaning required.

No wonder children think it's ok not to wash their hands.

Parents and carers - check the toilets at your childs school. I will be.

The schools I know take toilet hygiene very seriously. Often at a great cost when considering repairs.

To be fair, at a younger age range (say reception class) not all kids are responsible enough to be able to unlock doors, cant see a reason not to have good sanitation tho

I have friends who teach at nursery and reception level who have told me that it has become much more common for the little ones to arrive still in nappies and with no toilet training at all. Time is being lost in reception classes teaching kids to be dry.

When i was at school(many moons ago!) it was difficult just trying to get permission to even go to the toilet.

Teachers sememed to get a thrill out of stopping people going for some reason.

I left school in 2005 and considering it was a secondary school, the toilets there were horrendous. In a toilet with maybe 10 cubicles, only one of them had a working lock, and only three or less of them would usually have toilet paper. They were dark and dindgey and horrible to use.

But yet the school was always given a good hygeine and up-keep rating. :/ x

This what the report was saying. The campaign is to try and get some recognised standards for school toilets. Government is saying that it's not necessary.

Because some school children can be quite nasty to each other! An anti-bullying/smokin/drug taking measure.

Yes, I saw that this evening. In the changing rooms too. That can't be right.

they reckon it is to stop bullying etc, however a study in France just showed that thefts increased rather than addressing any bullying issues.

I just remember Lisle paper from school, whoever invented that needs a serious head check

my kids used to both wait until they got home to use the loo because the secondary school ones were so awful. They both used to race through the door when they got in and head for the bathrooms
