Open Changing Places Toilets
Changing Places are accessible toilets with additional features such as extra space, an adult changing bench, and a hoist. Typically, Changing Places require a RADAR Key for access.

How to use RADAR Key Toilets
Avoid any potential embarrassment by checking first that the accessible toilet is unoccupied. Most accessible toilets do lock from the inside, but occasionally the occupier may have forgotten to lock the door, meaning your RADAR Key will still open it.
Refrain from judging whether a person should or should not be using an accessible toilet, as not all disabilities are visible to others. A variety of conditions and issues, some obvious and some hidden, may necessitate the use of an accessible toilet.
Don’t use an accessible toilet without a legitimate reason. This may prevent individuals with disabilities from accessing the facilities they need, potentially causing discomfort, distress, or embarrassment. For this reason, we only offer RADAR Keys to our card holders, whose disability or carer status we have verified.
