Schools: Closed Circuit Television

Volume 480: debated on Wednesday 8 October 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many (a) primary schools and (b) secondary schools in England have CCTV cameras in children's toilets. (221812)

The Department does not collect this information. Cameras can be installed in common areas in toilet or washroom facilities where misbehaviour may take place, so long as privacy is not infringed. The Information Commissioner's Office has produced a Code of Practice on the use of CCTV which schools can use.
