SIMPLY CHANGING PLACES AWARENESS DAY

The19th July is Changing Places Awareness Day to promote the life changing difference a Changing Places toilet can make. Over 1/4 million people in the UK require a fully accessible changing / toileting facility to enable them to get out and about and enjoy day-to-day activities and public venues.  Many public places only offer standard accessible toilets - excluding those with learning disabilities, or physical disabilities who rely or carers or extra equipment and space to use a bathroom safely and comfortably.

Changing Places toilet increases a venue’s accessibility by providing:

​  A height adjustable, adult sized changing bench

​  A ceiling track hoist system

​  Adequate space for user and two assistants

​  A centrally located toilet with space both sides for assistance

​  A privacy screen

​  Wide paper roll

​  A large waste disposal bin

​  A washbasin, preferably height adjustable
