The University of Warwick is leading the way by having 6 Changing Places facilities across our campuses and is one of only a few Universities to have any, promoting independence and choice for disabled people with complex needs. Over a 1/4 million people in the UK need Changing Places Toilets to enable them to get out and about and enjoy 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, which has more space and the right equipment, including a height-adjustable changing bench, a peninsular toilet with space on either side and a ceiling hoist. Previously, students who needed these facilities would have only been able to access the toilet in their own bedroom on campus.

The University has already installed 2 Changing PlacesLink opens in a new window facilities in the Sports and Wellness Hub, 1 in Warwick Arts Centre, a smaller Space to ChangeLink opens in a new window in the Mathematical Sciences Building with a wash & dry toilet and 1 recently completed in the new Faculty of Arts building. Across the whole country in 2019, there were only 18 Changing Places registered in pubs and restaurants. We have a total of 6 already and are considering some other locations, such as our Wellesbourne Campus.
