Come and find us on Threads.

We have introduced a RoomMate® to our accessible toilet to ensure independence to our visitors who live with sight loss. Located on the wall, it offers bespoke assistance to everyone who enters and if audio guidance is needed a narration details the layout of the room.

Thanks #brightonpalacepier for a supremely damaged accessible toilet - one I actually injured myself in (in an unfortunate area). Major seaside attraction in #Brighton, yet a dangerous "accessible" WC. #disability #Accessibility #Brightonpier #Brightonandhove

Our guides help businesses assess the accessibility of their toilets (and users will find them helpful if making an access/equality complaint). We found around 5% of toilets do not meet UK access standards, and are not usable! ⭐️Link in bio. #toilets #accessibility #Disability

Fairhaven Lake & Gardens is to become more inclusive thanks to the addition of a new Changing Places facility.

We are currently working on this project which will provide an accessible toilet and specialist equipment available on site.

@WellingtonShops The flush should also be on the transfer space side of the toilet. We have e-booklets on our website to help you assess your accessible toilets and help make toilets accessible for as many as possible / meet legal UK requirements. 👍🏼

@WellingtonShops Hello, having a shelf is great but it might be worth seeing if another nearby location might be better as you could run into health and safety problems (it’s at back of head/neck height & for disabled people who have seizures or balance issues and fall backwards, can be deadly).

[Accessible Toilets Project UK @ifori]

@GrandadWheels At least two things don’t comply with building regulations and seats like that can damage the pelvis.

[Accessible Toilets Project UK @ifori]

@HughanWhosArmy Thank you.

[Accessible Toilets Project UK @ifori]

@waitrose @_nalloooon Under building regulations it must be at a set height and not touching the floor. Visit our website or Twitter account for a helpful ebook guide on how to assess accessibility.

Silverdale Parish Council want to demolish the existing public toilet block they own on Bank House Lane, Silverdale and replace it with new public toilets including disabled facilities. https://t.co/1o8IBC2y9g

Customers are advised that the accessible toilet at Grantham station is currently out of order this has been faulted and an engineer has been arranged to fix the fault as soon as possible. If you require any further assistance please speak to a member of station staff.

[Accessible Toilets Project UK @ifori]

@NickySimpson98 There should be no mirror above the sink, the tap should be at the back left nearest the toilet, the seat isn’t a contrasting colour to the toilet pan and has a gap and there isn’t a shelf for people with an ostomy (and chrome is not recommended for fittings due to glare).

[Accessible Toilets Project UK @ifori]

@NickySimpson98 Yes changing places are fab aren’t they 👍🏼

[Accessible Toilets Project UK @ifori]

@SimonJosephs @RupertMyers They are only for use by people who need the access features which specifically include ‘availability, proximity, accessible route’ or are a carer. In the UK a company who doesn’t protect toilets from misuse by others is likely to be acting outside of Equality Legislation.

[Accessible Toilets Project UK @ifori]

The law doesn’t recognise ‘not in keeping with the building’ as a reason to deny access to disabled people by not building an accessible toilet. Many listed buildings and their ground throughout the UK have amazing accessible toilets. We need action not excuses!

[Telegraph & Argus @Bradford_TandA]

A TOWN Council has objected to plans for an accessible toilet facility next to a listed museum, arguing it is “not in keeping” with the historic building. https://t.co/8BmATskZ4G 🔗 Link below

@TimFrost23 @CraftPubs Oh dear funny but oh so not funny … CraftPubs - are you taking Equality Law seriously? Maybe you need our guides?

[Accessible Toilets Project UK @ifori]

@NickySimpson98 I think you misunderstood - I was saying that not only is the cord tied but the actual toilet fails on 5 counts of building regulations, (5 other visible features) in case the owner was reading. And spurred to fix it!!
