MHK 'concerned' over school toilet policy

A former member of the Department of Education, Sport and Culture says she's considering asking an emergency question in Tynwald about schools' toilet policies.

Douglas South MHK Claire Christian resigned from the department earlier this month.

But she says she's worried by rules at Ballakermeen High school preventing students from going to the toilet during lessons unless there are medical or other reasons.

On Facebook, she says she's written to the new minister Daphne Caine and may raise the matter in Tynwald this month.
