Toilet Rules - Are Schools Being Too Strict?

Available for over a year

Children in schools which lock toilets during lessons say it's causing them upset and embarrassment. Head teachers say it's to stop young people finding a reason to slip out of the classroom. But BBC Newsround has heard from one student with a medical condition who says the restrictions worry her every day. Another student says she ended up in hospital with a urine infection because of the strict rules. In this episode of 5 Questions On, teenagers talk frankly to Newsround reporter Jenny Lawrence about the problems locked toilets can cause.
