• Published: 6 February 2023

Changing Places toilets are larger accessible toilets for severely disabled people, with equipment such as hoists, privacy screens, adult-sized changing benches, peninsula toilets and space for carers.

The government wants to see a step change in the number of Changing Places toilets across the country. This is why at Budget 2021, the Chancellor announced a fund of up to £30.5 million Changing Places Fund to accelerate the provision in existing buildings in England.
