Guidance needed on school toilets

Perth and Kinross Council is awaiting Scottish Government guidance on whether it will have to alter three schools built with only gender neutral toilets.

- 

Last week a Court of Session judge ruled Scottish schools must provide single-sex toilets for pupils.

The new £80 million Perth High School-due to open this summer-has also been built without single-sex toilet facilities.

The Court of Session judgement was made in a case brought against Scottish Borders Council by parents concerned about a new primary school built with only gender-neutral toilets.

The decision came after the UK Supreme Court unanimously ruled a woman is defined by biological sex under equalities law.
