Why #Carers need #ChangingPlacesToilets

#ChangingPlaces #Accessibility #ToiletEquality
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.
