Towcester school toilet CCTV cameras turned off for review

But in a statement sent to media later in the week, first reported by the Northampton Chronicle, external, Mr Forbes referenced “parental concerns”.

He said a consultancy agency would review the use of the CCTV and ensure risk assessments and safeguards were in place.

“Until this is completed we have made the decision to turn off the cameras and they will not be activated again until this review is completed,” he explained.

Installing cameras and vape detectors in other parts of the school had led to a significant decrease in incidents, he added.

Sponne School, which is run by the Tove Learning Trust, caters for pupils aged 11 to 18.

Schools have been installing CCTV including in toilet areas for more than a decade.

In 2012, campaign group Big Brother Watch said more than 200 schools in England, Wales and Scotland had them positioned in toilets and changing rooms.
