AIBU to expect working staff toilet facilities where I work?

[Pinkflipflop]

I work in a school and basically there are no working adult staff toilets! I personally find it disgusting and this is not helped by the fact that I am pregnant. There are over 40 staff and during the times when the 1 staff toilet is out of action we have to share with the children. It's horrible! I don't have a TA so I have to hold in my urge until break or lunch time and then there will invariably be a queue of children waiting. I don't like to barge in front of the children, so I just wait.

Surely there must be a law against this?

When I query it with the office I am looked at as though I am making a scene

ask your union?

I know workplaces have to provide such things but I don't know if the children's toilets would count as providing facilities. I would hate to think so! But I don't know.

YANBU.

HSE regulations require workplaces to have an adequate number of toilets. Numbers depends on the gender balance, but if you have 40 staff, and toilets are all for mixed use / women only, then there should be at least 3 toilets.
