Statutory guidance as to how that requirement can be met is contained in <em>Approved Document M (Access to and use of buildings</em>) <em>Volume 2: Buildings other than dwellings</em>. Section 5 of the Approved Document provides detailed guidance on suitable toilet and sanitary accommodation. Government has no current plans to amend these requirements, but will keep guidance on toilet provision under review.</p><p>For existing public and commercial buildings, the Equality Act 2010 places duties on building owners, employers and business operators to put in place suitable management practices and to make reasonable adjustments to physical features of buildings in order to ensure that disabled people are not placed at a disadvantage when compared to a non-disabled person. This includes consideration of the nature and availability of toilet provision.</p> answering member constituency Croydon Central answering member printed Gavin Barwell question first answered 19/09/2016 14:14:17 answering member 3955 label Biography information for Lord Barwell
