Disabled Changing Places and RADAR keys

Many disabled people can't use standard accessible toilets as they need more space for mobility and assistance. This includes people with profound and multiple learning disabilities and their carers, as well as many other disabled people.


RADAR Keys

You may need a RADAR key to access some disabled accessible toilets.

RADAR keys may be available from your local district or borough council or you can purchase one from Disability Rights UK.
