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
