Blaenau Gwent council says parents will be expected to go to school to change children's nappies/pull ups.

But charity says it is "tantamount to abuse" to force a child to sit in wet or soiled underwear until a parent or guardian can come in and change them.

Education bosses say there has been an increase in school-age children not being able to use the bathroom independently.

"It's time to stop blaming parents, ensure that local services have adequate resources to support toilet training, and a bladder and bowel provision in place to help those who experience problems before it's too late." The charity's website said it was "tantamount to abuse" to allow a child to sit in wet or soiled underwear..
