Ambulant disabled people in separate sex toilet facilities

Those who are ambulant disabled people should have the opportunity to use a water closet compartment within any separate sex toilet washroom. The compartment should be fitted with support rails, and include a minimum activity space to accommodate people who use crutches, or otherwise have impaired leg movements. The presence of this facility helps avoid unnecessary travel to unisex toilet accommodation. Some ambulant disabled people find it difficult to use a standard height water closet seat and, for them, it is important that the water closet pan is of a suitable size to accommodate a personal variable height toilet seat riser.
