Millions were spent locally on a new secondary school complete with unisex toilets for that same reason. Within weeks the Male and Female signs went up as it was realised that the incidence of bullying was soaring.

Tessa can you provide a link so we can see exactly what's being proposed?

Our primary school does, quite rightly, have separate toilets for girls and boys, and in addition a toilet specifically for the top class girls,many of whom have started their periods and feel the need for some privacy.

Unisex toilets need not be about catering for all the above, but simply to do with costs and space. I would not favour this, knowing how little boys struggle with their aim!

I've just read an article about new primary schools being built with unisex toilets to allow for lesbian, gay and transgender children. Really!!!! Am I wrong in thinking they are far to young to know about these things. Or am I behind with the times.
