Yes, it's true! This petition will be delivered to Downing Street! We are in the very early stages of planning and I will bring more details as and when I have them. So far over 50,000 people have signed this petition to say that they would like Changing Places toilets to be compulsory in larger public buildings as part of building regulations. The comments on this petition provide evidence that disabled children, teenagers and adults, as well as their carers, are being put at risk and are being put in degrading situations through the lack of toileting facilities that meet their needs. It really is time for change. My MP, Nic Dakin, has supported my campaign throughout, but as he says: "It's been a great campaign. We now need to have actions from Government. I'm looking forward to working with Lorna to take the petition to Downing Street." I have also teamed up with Paralympian and disability rights campaigner, Anne Wafula Strike. The plan is for us to deliver the petition together. This is Anne's message to you all: "There's no application form to be disabled, if there was I do not imagine myself filling one in. Every human being has a right to access a toilet and it's very sad that a section of the disabled community are not able use a suitable facility to change in. Currently changing places toilets are merely mentioned as a recommendation in British Standards which suggests they should be provided in larger buildings and complexes, such as: a) major transport termini or interchanges, e.g. large railway stations and airports b) motorway services c) sport and leisure facilities, including large hotels d) cultural centres, such as museums, concert halls and art galleries e) stadia and large auditoria f) shopping centres and shopmobility centres g) key buildings within town centres, e.g. town halls, civic centres and main public libraries h) educational establishments i) health facilities, such as hospitals, health centres and community practices. As a Paralympian and someone who has suffered humiliation of a lack of an accessible working toilet, I am supporting Lorna Fillingham and other parents and carers to push campaign. All credit to them for campaigning for inclusion and asking for sufficient changing places toilets to be installed in all public buildings. We are asking for a basic need that should not be denied to anyone ..." As for myself, I would like to thank everybody who has supported this petition so far. I would like to ask you all though to please share the petition again on your social media networks. We currently have 50,000 signatures, but the more voices that we can take with us the better... I'm going to leave you now with a news article that was featured on Look East today (available until lunchtime on 16/1/18). Thank you all.
