自2006年以来,“更衣之地”联盟一直在争取提供充分便利的厕所,以支持智力残障人士和其他身体残疾的人士便利使用社区的权利。 残障人士无法使用标准的残疾人厕所,可能导致残疾人及其家属的出行不卫生并给他们带来压力。 能够上厕所是一项基本的公民权利,但是每天都有成千上万的残疾人面临着需要在不卫生的公共厕所的地上更衣,从而只能继续穿着脏衣服或选择不外出。 更衣之地的厕所是一个完全便利的厕所,有高度可调的换衣凳、架空轨道或移动式起重机;有一个半岛状厕所和足够的空间,最多可容纳两名看护人。迄今为止,“更衣之地”运动已推动英国各地安装了840多个可更衣厕所。

Observation | 2006-2016 Changing Places Consortium Celebrate 10 years of Campaigning across the UK

Since 2006, the Changing Places Consortium has been campaigning for fully accessible toilets to support the rights of people with profound and multiple learning, and/or other physical disabilities, to access their community. Standard disabled toilets are not accessible for disabled people and can lead to unhygienic and stressful trips out for disabled people and their families. Being able to go to the toilet is a basic civil right, however every day thousands of people with a disability face the choice of being changed on the floor of an unhygienic public toilet, remaining in soiled clothing or not going out at all.A Changing Places toilet is a fully accessible toilet with a height-adjustable changing bench, an overhead track or mobile hoist; a peninsular toilet and enough space for up to two carers. The Changing Places campaign has led to the installation of over 840 Changing Places toilets across the UK.
