Alzheimer's Society is assisting Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government with their proposal to add Changing Places toilets to more than 150 new buildings per year across England. This could include shopping centres, supermarkets, cinemas, stadiums and arts venues.
Standard accessible toilets do not meet the needs of all people, which is why the Changing Places toilets are needed.
Each Changing Places toilet provides:
- The right equipment: a height adjustable adult-sized changing table, a tracking hoist system
- Enough space: for a person and carer, a centrally placed toilet with room either side, screen/curtain for privacy
- A safe and clean environment: wide tear off paper to cover the bench, a large waste bin for disposable pads and a non-slip floor
Our Policy, Campaigns & Partnerships team would like to ask you:
- Do you support the Government’s intention to increase the number of Changing Places toilets?
- Do you think the Government should make Changing Places toilets a legal requirement in Building Regulations?
- What types of large public places do you think require Changing Places toilets? For example, airports, hotels, shopping centers, libraries, etc
Thank you
