[holding answer 26 March 2012]: The proposed School Premises Regulations stress that suitable toilet and washing facilities must be provided for the sole use of pupils, having regard to their ages, number, sex and any special requirements they may have. The regulations will be supported by supplementary information and guidance. This is still being developed to take account of views expressed in the recent consultation on the standards for school premises which closed in January, but it will contain sufficient detail so that parents, pupils and school staff, may judge whether school toilets and washing facilities meet the standards set.The Workplace Regulations cover employees and therefore apply to the toilet and washing facilities in schools used by teachers and other staff. Some of their requirements will be included in the supplementary information and guidance covering toilet and washing facilities for pupils.
