single-sex

Where possible, mixed-sex toilets, washing or changing facilities should be provided in addition to sufficient single-sex facilities, according to the guidance.

Parents in the Scottish Borders say they feel "elated" after a judge ruled that Scottish schools must provide single-sex toilets for pupils.

Wednesday's judgement ruled that mixed-sex schools must have single-sex toilets, but they can have gender neutral toilets in addition to that.

The Scottish government will issue "timely guidance" on the issue of single-sex spaces following the Supreme Court gender ruling, John Swinney has said.

The UK's highest court last week ruled the definition of a woman in the 2010 Equality Act is based on biology in a move that will have major implications for single-sex spaces and services such as public toilets and changing rooms.
