Changing places

People with limited mobility may need equipment to help them get on the toilet or to have their pad changed.

Changing Places Toilets (CPT) enable these people to get out and about and enjoy some of 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 Changing Places Toilet with extra space and appropriate equipment such as height adjustable changing bench, peninsular toilet and a ceiling hoist.
