Over 200 schools in England, Scotland and Wales have put video cameras in their toilets, locker rooms and changing rooms. The schools said they want to keep their children safe from bullying, knife and gun crime, and drugs. There is now a total of 825 cameras operating in 207 schools. Siobhan Freegard, co-founder of parenting website NetMums, said: "I think everybody realises that this…is in the open areas...where a lot of bullying and difficult behaviour takes place…An area where teachers are not likely to be."

Big Brother Watch, a human rights group, is worried that the privacy of students is not being protected. It said: "Schools need to come clean about why they are using these cameras and what is happening to the footage." One school head told parents they have no need to worry. She said: "The images are not looked at unless there has been a reported problem, and all images are deleted after a maximum of 30 days." In Britain, all schools using CCTV must follow the rules in the Data Protection Act.
