What is a Changing Places toilet?
Changing Places toilets are larger accessible toilets fitted with a height-adjustable adult-sized changing bench and a hoist — essential for around a quarter of a million people in the UK.
How to plan a day out around them
- Check the Changing Places map before you travel
- Call the venue to confirm the room is in service
- Ask about hoist slings — many venues do not provide them
