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

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.
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!
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. dlvr.it/T39sqt 🔗 Link below

A worrying amount of modular toilets / pods being installed with a peninsular toilet that’s not within reach of a finger wash sink for wheelchair users. Wiping your bum then handling grab rails and your wheelchair without washing hands is pretty yucky. #accessibleToilet #toilets

Good news. The appallingly below standard, accessible toilet in Silver St by York market (shown here with me + Cllr Wilson) will begin its upgrade to a Changing Places facility after a new accessible toilet is created from the current market traders toilet. Work starts next week.

When it comes to stoma bags, there's a lot to learn. We've created this bitesize guide on the different types of #stoma bags, systems and products to help you get started or to share with your friends and family, so they can be #StomaAware 💜

In another iteration of benefits, again the focus is getting people working/earning. There have always been difficulties determining who might be able to work. 1 major thing stopped me from working in 98% of places (causing major problems when I did get a job). No usable toilet.

If a business does not have fully accessible toilets (or they are abused by staff who don’t need them) or the are absent … disabled people can’t work there. Also people may need a personal adaptation or equipment that business’s don’t know how to fund or provide. So … (2/3)
