Court Orders Separate School Toilets

A Scottish court has ordered a local council to fix its new primary school’s toilets after ruling they unlawfully failed to provide separate facilities for boys and girls. Parents of a girl who avoided using the shared toilets due to boys’ disruptive behavior won the case, with the judge declaring that “sanitary accommodation” includes wash basins and waiting areas — not just cubicles. The ruling also found the arrangement violated 1967 regulations and the 2010 Equality Act, constituting indirect sex discrimination. This follows a similar 2023 court order and aligns with new Scottish government guidance, forcing the council to redesign the facilities — though it’s up to them how.
