Did you know that over a 1/4 million people in the UK need to enable them to get out and about and enjoy the day-to-day activities which many of us take for granted. To use a toilet in safety and comfort, these people need to be able to access a CPT, which has more space and the right equipment, including a height adjustable changing bench, a peninsular toilet and a celling hoist. What are Changing Places toilets? Standard accessible toilets do not meet the needs of all people with a disability. Changing Places: The practical guide CPT Funding 2021 England Only - Local Authorities reference. Toilet A centrally placed, peninsular toilet with room either side for a wheelchair user, and wall-mounted vertical grab rails and drop-down support rails on either side to offer support while transferring and while seated. More Space The room should be at least 12 square metres, which will provide adequate space for the user, turning space for a wheelchair and room two carers if required. The floor surface should be non-slip and there should be plenty of space for a privacy screen and waste bins. Washbasin The washbasin should have clear space below the bowl, to allow a wheelchair user to access it comfortably. Ideally a height adjustable washbasin is preferred so that the height can be adjusted to suit the needs of the user. Many also provide a shower which can be used with a shower seat or over the changing bench. Changing Bench & Hoist A height adjustable, adult-sized changing bench to provide a comfortable, stable platform for people who use incontinence pads or who need help being changed or undressed to use the toilet. A ceiling track hoist eliminates the need to lift a person manually and removes the risk of injury to the carer or the person being transferred. It allows someone who cannot self-transfer to move about the room with comfort and dignity.

People may be limited in their own mobility so need equipment to help them to either get on the toilet or to have their continence pad changed.
