More than half a million pupils have not drunk during school day to avoid using toilet, study suggests

More than half a million pupils have not drank during the school day so that they can avoid using the toilet, a study suggests, as children complain of dirty and unsafe facilities without toilet roll and soap.

Nearly one in four secondary school children have avoided drinking as they do not want to use the school toilet, which has left them many feeling ill and unable to concentrate, a YouGov poll carried out for health and hygiene company Essity has found.

This equates to 654,072 pupils across the UK who have not consumed fluid during the school day to avoid having to use the toilets, according to the report.
