    I wanted to check if anyone knows of my rights in my situation. A while ago I was attacked in the school toilets and had fireworks thrown at me while I was going to the toilet. For about a week after I developed a fear of going to the bathroom and didn't at all for at least a few days. Because of that I have seriously damaged my bladder and now and for a long time will probably need to use the bathroom every 15 mins to half an hour. I've had letters from doctors and the hospital sent into the school asking if I could be allowed use the bathroom during some classes if I absolutely have to and between some classes. The school has refused and said I can go to the toilet every 2 hours like everyone else in the school. What are my options now?

    Were you actually suspended from school?

    You may not like it but surely a catheter would be the way to go here?

    But failing all of this I don't see how the school can deny someone's right to take a piss if it's medically necessary!

    I would contact a solicitor.

    Agree with earlier posters. See a solicitor.
