"Edinburgh schools have made "urgent" changes to ensure they are not acting unlawfully as councils still await single-sex spaces guidance from the Scottish Government.
Councillors are to be told that further updates will be needed in primary and secondaries but these will be decided “by committee” and taking into account “legal risk and cost”.
A review of the school estate following a Supreme Court ruling on the legal definition of “sex” found some Edinburgh schools had solely gender-neutral provision and were therefore in breach of legal regulations.
Now the local authority has published its updated guidance on balancing the rights of all pupils in toilets and changing facilities.
Alba MSP Ash Regan said she welcomed the “swift and decisive” action from the council."

Newly updated guidance on single-sex spaces for schools will go before councillors at committee next week.
A report shows that no physical adaptations are required to any secondary school toilets but several secondary schools will be required to redesignate blocks of toilets as either male or female.

so it looks like they just designated all the existing multi user facilities as “gender neutral” (mixed sex)

I am very interested in this case. (England for my personal case)

If anyone has any further resources about the changes happening in schools and relevant things about equality act, KCSIE changes on mixed sex things please do share!
