Did you know that one in four children in England and Wales are starting school not toilet trained? To help reduce that number and support families who might be struggling, ERIC (The Children’s Bowel & Bladder Charity) is launching a summer campaign, All Aboard the Toilet Train, that aims to help more children get ready to use the toilets independently at school.
Parents/carers are invited to ‘board the Toilet Train’ by signing up to the online challenge that will help prepare your child for school. You’ll receive information, advice and support throughout the summer to support your child in their journey.
