Request or Question
How many of your primary and secondary schools have mixed sex toilets (otherwise known as gender neutral/flexible) i.e. toilets that are designated for use by both male and female pupils?Do you have any upcoming plans to change any of your primary or secondary school single sex toilets to mixed sex toilets?If so, what is the cost of this, per school.
Response
15 Primary and Secondary schools have unisex toilets. Two of these schools are New Builds.  Toilets are/have been provided for in Jedburgh Grammar Campus, Galashiels Community Campus and Peebles High School. The layout of the toilet facilities will allow for them to be used in either a male/female or all-gender style subject to local arrangements and management within each school. The Council has no upcoming plans to change any primary or secondary school single sex toilets to mixed sex toilets at the moment.
The costs for these toilets are not separately identified within the overall project budgets. Therefore we are unable to provide the cost and refer to S17 of FOI(S)A 2002 and declare that the information is not held.
