A Nottinghamshire school has decided to have CCTV cameras installed in pupils' toilets to reduce 'damage and vandalism'. Carlton le Willows Academy has written to parents to explain why they have taken the decision after "inappropriate use" by some of the students.
CCTV cameras will be installed as a result in each of the single sex toilet spaces, the school said. These cameras will look along the line of cubicles, along the top of the cubicles and along the line of sinks.
The school however ensured parents that the cameras will be strategically located, so they do not focus inside toilet cubicles when doors are shut or into the urinal areas in the boys' toilets. The cameras will be installed during January as a temporary measure - with the school looking to turn the existing single sex spaces into self-contained unisex toilets.
