Court Rules School Toilets Unlawful

A Scottish judge has slammed West Lothian Council for failing to provide truly separate boy and girl toilets at a new primary school, ruling the shared facilities — even with separate cubicles — violated legal standards for sanitary accommodation. The case, brought by parents concerned about privacy and dignity, found the design also breached 1967 regulations by lacking separate urinals. The ruling, seen as a victory for the Conservative group leader who’s long pushed for single-sex toilets, could reshape how schools across Scotland design bathrooms — potentially triggering claims of indirect sex discrimination under the Equality Act 2010. The council is reviewing the decision while the Scottish government affirms education authorities’ responsibility for school facilities.
