Safe spaces in Australian schools: The role of bathroom and cubicle design in minimising bullying

Unlike classrooms or other open common areas in school, school toilets are highly private spaces with minimal supervision, making them a hotspot for bullying. To effectively address this issue, it is essential to understand the specific dynamics that contribute to bullying in these environments.

School toilets, being private spaces with minimal supervision, are particularly vulnerable to bullying. The lack of oversight allows students to gather in secluded areas, making it easy for bullying to go unnoticed. To combat this, architects and designers must balance privacy, safety, and supervision in their designs.

Safe Spaces in Australian Schools: The Role of Bathroom and Cubicle Design in Minimising Bullying examines the prevalence of bullying in Australian schools and how smart design solutions can help minimise the risks. Innovations like open-plan washrooms increase visibility, reducing the chances for anti-social behaviour, while full-height partitions enhance personal privacy and security.

Duracube is renowned for delivering durable, robust, and practical bathroom systems to a variety of clients, including schools, commercial buildings, and public spaces. Their innovative full-height toilet partitions are designed to maximise privacy with minimal or no gaps around panels, ensuring students and users feel secure in these sensitive areas.
