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.
