What are Changing Places toilets?

Standard disabled toilets do not meet the needs of all people with a disability – or their carers. Changing Places toilets are different to standard disabled toilets.

Changing Places toilets provide:

The right equipment

• A height adjustable 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 for the carers
• A screen or curtain to allow the disabled person and carer 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
