Changing Places

What are Changing Places?

They are fully accessible toilets designed for individuals who cannot use a standard toilet independently. The campaign strives to make all types of venues completely accessible to everyone.

The Changing Place space

All Changing Place facilities should offer sufficient space for a disabled person and up to two carers. The space should provide the following:

A height-adjustable, adult-sized changing bench
A ceiling track hoist system
Adequate space for manoeuvring (at least 12 square meters where possible)
A centrally located toilet, with space on either side for carers
A screen or curtain to give privacy
A wide paper roll dispenser for covering the bench
A large waste disposal bin
Non-slip flooring

What does a typical Changing Place look like?

The following is an example design with a central door layout, as detailed in the Changing Places Practical Guide.
