REMOVAL of CCTV within the toilet facilities in our children's school

The Issue

There has been the installation of CCTV above toilet cubicles and right above urinals within the children's toilet facilities at school.  The parents were not informed of this before installation and there are a lot of safeguarding and child protection issues here. Such as placement of cameras, line of sight, security around the remotely accessible footage, access to the footage and the storage of said footage. 

The children of the school not only feel embarrassed, undignified but very anxious and upset by the CCTV.  The school have a duty of care to maintain the dignity of our children, it is a school not a prison and prisoners get to go to the toilet without cameras why should our children be subjected to such humiliation??
