BS 8300:2009 RECOMMENDS that Changing Places should be built in large public places such as Shopping Centres, airports, leisure centres, sports stadiums, town halls, and auditoria, to name but a few. Disabled people often have to be changed on dirty toilet floors which is degrading, unhygienic and dangerous. Many disabled people choose to stay at home because the facilities they need do not exist in their community. Changing Places should be mandatory as they are a necessity for severely disabled people.
