Technical review on increasing accessibility and provision of toilets for men and women.
This consultation ran from
31 October 2020 to 11:45pm on 26 February 2021
This call for evidence launches a technical review of provision of toilets for men and women.
Women often have to face excessive queues for toilets or don’t have access to appropriate facilities that meet their needs when out. In some cases this can mean women are reluctant to go out or take trips that many take for granted.
Over recent years there has also been a trend towards replacing female only facilities with gender neutral toilets.
The review aims to address this by considering the ratio of female toilets needed versus the number for men, given the need for women to always use cubicles. It would also take into account the needs of all members of the community, to ensure there is a fair provision of accessible and gender-neutral toilets.
The review will also look at signage, which should be clearer and use gender-specific language, to avoid confusion.
