Disability: Public Lavatories
- Question
-
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential impact of introducing legislation that would ensure that all accessible toilets in public places have RADAR key locks on disabled people.
- Answer
-
No assessment has been made; the RADAR key scheme is not government-led and there are no plans for legislation to make it statutory.
The functional element in Part M of the Building Regulations requires new building works to make reasonable provision for people to access and use a building and its facilities. More broadly, the Equality Act 2010 places a duty on service providers and businesses to make reasonable adjustments to improve access to premises/buildings and services.
