BOG Standard

https://www.eric.org.uk/school-toilets

Bog Standard is a campaign to promote better toilets for pupils.
Our 3 aims are:

1. To increase awareness of the health benefits of better toilets for pupils
2. To encourage schools to improve the condition of pupils’ toilets and to allow pupils to use them when they need to
3. To get laws that will make pupils’ toilets nicer to use
   School toilets affect children’s physical and psychological health. Toilets which are unpleasant, or out of bounds, can cause serious, long-term health problems.
