Background

Introduce requirements for large public venues such as supermarkets and family attractions to provide accessible changing benches so disabled children who outgrow baby changing tables can be safely changed in public places

Additional details

Many disabled children outgrow baby changing tables by around 2–3 years old but still require continence or medical care. Without suitable facilities, families are often forced to change children on toilet floors, in public spaces, or leave venues early. Some families avoid going out entirely. Accessible changing benches would allow disabled children to be cared for safely and with dignity in public places.
