'Changing Places' Campaign

Disabled toilets do not meet the needs of all people with a disability

Inclusion Ireland is hoping to facilitate a Changing Places Ireland website that will provide information to people who need toilet facilities with extra features. In the UK there was a very effective campaign and Inclusion Ireland would like to produce something similar for people with a disability in Ireland

Standard toilets for people with a disability do not meet the needs of all people with a disability as some people need extra facilities to allow them to use the toilets. To ensure that this campaign can get underway can you assist Inclusion Ireland with the following information:
