<p>Government is currently consulting on how we can increase provision of Changing
Places toilets in specific new, large buildings commonly used by the public and those
undergoing major refurbishment, through a change to building regulations. Please see:
<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/changing-places-toilets" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/changing-places-toilets</a></p><p>The
consultation includes an assessment of impacts of increasing provision of Changing
Places toilets. The benefits of these facilities are societal, addressing a known
need within our communities. Increasing provision will enable people with complex
care needs to take part in everyday activities such as travel, shopping, family days
out or attending a sporting event.</p><p>The Government has worked with the Changing
Places campaign to increase the number of facilities and register them with the Changing
Places Consortium. The Department, with contribution from the Devolved Administrations,
provided £70,000 to develop an online map that helps carers and disabled people find
Changing Places toilets.</p>
