Many of our public toilets have a separate disabled toilet. Some of these are "Changing Places" toilets, which have extra features such as:
- extra room for chairs and equipment, and up to 2 carers
- a hoist
- an adult changing bench
- a toilet in the centre so you can move around it
- a shower attachment in some locations
Some disabled toilets need a RADAR key to open.
RADAR keys
RADAR keys give access to over 9000 locked public toilets for disabled people around the country. You can buy one for £5 if you have a permanent disability. RADAR keys can be bought from Tourist Information Centres or on the RADAR website.
Who can get a RADAR key
Only people with a permanent disability can buy and use a RADAR key, and you will need to have proof of your disability to buy one. Proof might include:
- a Blue Badge for parking
- a letter from a doctor
- an official letter about the payment of your Disability Living Allowance or other disability benefits
