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:

discipline problems relating to use of pupil toilets.

Have you reported any sexual assaults to the police 2021 to date?

For new build and converted mixed sex (also known as unisex or gender neutral) toilets in your school, please disclose:
Risk assessments

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.

Accessibility
If the information is already published, please provide the link to the document and let me know the relevant page number or agenda item.

Please acknowledge receipt of this request.

Many thanks for your assistance.

Yours,
