Changing Places toilets are a real improvement on standard accessible toilets as each installation provides a height-adjustable adult-sized changing bench, a tracking hoist system, enough space and a safe and clean environment.
Changing Places facilities need to meet a certain standard to be registered on our website. This is to ensure that any facility advertised as a Changing Places toilet meets the needs and expectations of the people who use them.
The dimensions of the room following the introduction of the amendment to part M of the building regulations are a minimum internal dimensions of 4200mm x 3000mm resulting in a floor area of 12.6m with a ceiling height of 2.4m.
