UnisexToilets in school

[Crumpets111]

NC for obvious reasons but here I go,
DS Primary School sent letters out today outlining the new plans regarding the full return to school in September. Within this is stated the toilets will all be changing to Unisex when they go back, and the guidance given by the Government states no extra cleaning is needed at all.

AIBU here to feel upset by this? No explanations were given, nor were we involved with any consultations regarding this. My DS is not comfortable with this, he is about to go into Y5, and other Parents have expressed their concerns across SM to which the Head Mistress deleted the comments!

This isn’t only a bad set up for girls. I’d be deeply concerned if my son’s class were allocated the boys toilets as well. All it takes is a second of not thinking, a boy uses the urinal on autopilot, then a girl comes in and WWIII breaks out.

If they are general loos being re-purposed then, unless there is a fool-proof plan to ensure the children are absolutely only in there one at a time, then it’s no good for girls or boys.

Sorry for not responding earlier, spoke with the school and it's clear they are struggling to open the school fully as directed with little or no help from the Government. They insisted it's not a permanent thing but simply to try ensure pupils stay within their Bubble Group using one one toilet in each group, even thou there is not enough toilets to do so!
