Changing Places facility
A changing places facility ensures adequate space and equipment is available for people with high support needs who can’t use accessible toilets. People with high care needs can now feel more comfortable spending a day out at the local park, knowing a specially designed amenities block will make life a little easier.
- A MLAK key (Master Locksmith Access Key) is required for Changing Places facilities. For general information about Changing Places facilities, visit the Changing Places website. To find out how to apply for a MLAK key, visit the Master Locksmiths website.
