Accessible Toilets

Changing Places Consortium are continuing to campaign for an increase in accessible toilets - and have now achieved 434!

The Changing Places WC is designed to enable children / adults to be able to access a WC / changing area with up to two carers enabling more people to 'make a day of it' - after all - who doesn't need a loo stop?!

The Changing Places toilets differ to standard disabled WC's with a variety of additional features. They are designed to have enough space to permit up to two carers to accompany as required. There are screens or curtains to permit some privacy, and there is equipment provided as standard including a height adjustable adult-sized changing bench and hoist.
