For stand alone separate single mixed sex (also known as unisex or gender neutral) toilets for student use, please disclose the:

Please provide the following information:
current policies or rules on use of toilets

discipline problems relating to use of pupil toilets.
Have you reported any sexual assaults to the police 2021 to date?
Yes/No
If yes, please state year, and location(s) of the alleged sexual assault(s).
For new build and converted mixed sex (also known as unisex or gender neutral) toilets in your school, please disclose:
Risk assessments
equality impact assessments
For converted toilets, date(s) of conversion and cost of work
Time limit: You should regard the 20 working day limit for answering FOIs as a ‘long stop’, in other words the latest possible date on which you may issue a response (ICO guidance on time limits in FOIA Section 10).
Excessive costs: If this request needs refining to make it possible for you to comply without incurring excessive costs (FOIA Section 12), consider ways in which you can help me to refine my request so you can answer without exceeding the appropriate limit. Please let me know as soon as possible, so you will be able to make the disclosures promptly, within the Section 10 time limit.
Redactions:
Please ensure that where you deem it necessary under s.40 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to redact personal data or any other information, please redact the minimum necessary (eg redact an individual’s name not their organisation in email addresses) and send me the rest of the material, explaining the legal grounds for each redaction.
