Disability Day Services

Thousands of people need Changing Places toilets to enable them to get out and about and enjoy the day-to-day activities many of us take for granted.  Standard accessible toilets do not meet the needs of all people with a disability.

People with profound and multiple learning disabilities, as well as other serious impairments such as spinal injuries, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis or an acquired brain injury, often need extra facilities to allow them to use the toilets safely and comfortably.

Changing Places toilets are different to standard accessible toilets (or "disabled toilets") as they have extra features and more space to meet the needs of people who use them.

Each Changing Places toilet provides:

 The right equipment

- a height adjustable adult-sized changing bench

- a tracking hoist system, or mobile hoist if this is not possible.

 Enough space

- adequate space in the changing area for the disabled person and up to two carers

- a centrally placed toilet with room either side

- a screen or curtain to allow some privacy.

 A safe and clean environment

- wide tear off paper roll to cover the bench

- a large waste bin for disposable pads

- a non-slip floor.
