Research concluded that up to a quarter of a million disabled people throughout the UK are potential users of Changing Places toilets.

People who are unable to transfer independently or have no sitting balance will benefit from the Forum’s Changing Places toilet facilities.

With the privacy screen, their assistant is also able to use the toilet, without leaving a disabled person unattended.

To maintain the facility for people with multiple and complex needs The Forum’s Changing Places toilet will be managed by The Forum’s Customer Services Team who are trained on the use of the equipment.

An access card can be collected and returned to Customer Services. Should any additional information be required, our Customer Services team will be happy to help.

When collecting an access card you will be asked to provide your name and a contact number. This is to assist us if the access card goes missing. All information is strictly confidential and will be stored according to our Privacy Policy.

There is an automatic sliding door with a clear opening of 1040mm. The door opens automatically on tapping the access card on a reader to the left of the sliding door. There is only one access card issued at any time. The door locks automatically. To release the door press the ‘PRESS to open’ button to the right of the exit.
