Places to go with Changing Places facilities

Standard accessible toilets meet the needs of most disabled visitors, but sometimes, these facilities aren’t enough, especially for those people who need assistance to use the toilet or who need changing. That’s where Changing Places Toilets come in.

What are Changing Places?

Changing Places Toilets have much more space and equipment than standard accessible toilets, including height adjustable changing benches, a peninsular toilet and hoists. Did you know that over a quarter of a million people would benefit from Changing Places toilets? That’s why the team at Changing Places are campaigning tirelessly to get more of these facilities installed in venues, attractions, transport hubs and more locations across the UK. Currently, there are over 1000 Changing Places facilities in operation but there could and should be more.

What makes a Changing Places facility?

In order to be designated a CPT, the facility must include the following:

Height adjustable, adult sized changing bench
Ceiling track hoist system
Adequate space for the user plus two assistants
Centrally located toilet with space either side for assistants
Privacy screen
Wide paper roll
Large waste bin
Height adjustable wash basin.

In some cases, they can also include shower facilities. Campaigners would like to see more of them installed in addition to the full range of single sex and standard accessible toilets and baby changing facilities.

Here are some of the locations that already have a Changing Places facility for you to plan your days out.
