Introduce new statutory standards for toilet access and lunchtime in schools

Using the toilet and eating lunch are not privileges; they are fundamental to a child's dignity, health, and ability to learn. Yet some schools fall below DfE toilet-to-pupil ratios, restrict access, or reduce privacy. Many pupils queue for much of their lunch break, leaving little time to eat. We ask for enforceable standards to ensure schools meet minimum toilet provision, maintain private facilities, provide reliable toilet access, and give every pupil sufficient time to obtain and eat a meal.
