Parents, teachers, school governors and health professionals

Welcome to the adults’ section of the Bog Standard website. This section is aimed primarily at parents, teachers and school governors, but can be used by anyone wanting to find out more about improving school toilets.

There are other parts of the site aimed at journalists and architects and designers.

Bog Standard Site

If you’re new to the site, start by finding out why the Bog Standard campaign is important and read about the connection between water, toilets and health (which school nurses may find particularly helpful). You can also look at our charter.

Get Involved

If you’re keen to get involved in the campaign, have a look at the What you can do page.

We’d love to hear your feedback about your or your child’s experience of school toilets. Go to our feedback form or read what other people are saying.

Not sure where to go? Have a look at the site map or read the FAQ.

Bog Standard’s 3 aims are:

• To increase public awareness of how improving provision and access* to pupils' toilet facilities can benefit children's health and learning
• To raise the standard of provision and access to pupils' toilet facilities in all schools nationally
• To ensure that UK and EU regulations adopt and enforce acceptable minimum standards for provision and access to drinking water and toilet facilities for all pupils in school

* Access refers both to allowing pupils to go to the toilet when they need to and providing facilities that are suitable for use by all pupils, including those with special needs.
