Photograph of Adam in his wheelchair with a sling attached to a hoist next to a changing bench. Quote - changing places toilets mean that I can enjoy a day out without having to leave early or simply not go out at all.

Changing Places toilets aren’t just vital for the people who use them, they’re essential for the carers who support them, too.



Many individuals rely on carers, personal assistants, or family members to help with intimate care tasks when out in public. Standard accessible toilets often lack the space and equipment needed to do this safely and with dignity.

Changing Places toilets aren’t just vital for the people who use them, they’re essential for the carers who support them, too. Many individuals rely on carers, personal assistants, or family members to help with intimate care tasks when out in public. Standard accessible toilets often lack the space and equipment needed to do this safely and with dignity.

Changing Places toilets provide:

 

Extra space to accommodate one or more carers or family members comfortably
Specialist equipment like ceiling hoists and height-adjustable changing benches to reduce the risk of manual handling injuries
A privacy screen, allowing carers to use the toilet themselves in a hygienic and dignified way while maintaining the individual’s privacy
A safe, clean environment that recognises the shared needs of both the disabled person and those supporting them

Without suitable facilities, carers are often forced to assist in cramped, unhygienic spaces - or worse, to risk their own health and safety through unsafe lifting or lack of proper equipment. They are also un able to go to the toilet easily when out of the house. By providing Changing Places toilets, we help protect carers’ wellbeing, support family life, and ensure public spaces are truly inclusive.

Invisible Disabilities and the Importance of Changing Places Toilets

 
Not all disabilities are visible. Many people live with conditions that affect their mobility, dignity, and independence in ways that aren't immediately obvious to others. For those with invisible disabilities, such as neurological conditions, chronic illnesses, or severe continence issues, standard accessible toilets often don’t meet their needs.
 
Changing Places toilets are designed to bridge this gap. They provide essential features like extra space for carers, a height-adjustable adult-sized

It's important to remember that needing these facilities doesn't always "look" a certain way. A person may appear able-bodied but still require the specialised equipment or space that a Changing Places toilet offers. By understanding and supporting the need for these inclusive spaces, we move closer to creating a society that values dignity, equality, and true accessibility for all.
