Changing Places Locations and Accessibility Information
Changing Places Standard accessible toilets (disabled toilets) do not meet the needs of all people with a disability or the needs of their carers. Many people with profound and multiple learning disabilities need support to use the toilet, or require the use of a height adjustable changing bench where a carer can safely change their continence pad. They also need a hoisting system so they can be helped to transfer safely from their wheelchair to the toilet or changing bench. This booklet has been put together as a guide for Lancashire and surrounding areas. The content is true and accurate as of 15/09/2014. Changing Places toilets provide: The right equipment A height adjustable changing bench A tracking hoist system, or mobile hoist 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
