Make all disabled toilets at the University and Union accesible toilets

Not all disabilities are visible and therefore my idea is to make all the disabled toilets, accessible toilets.

Petition submitted by Rhiannon Jenkins on Nov 18, 2017

This petition is in the Passed State

This petition has been passed and will be actioned ASAP.

How Will This Idea Benefit Students?

This idea came from when I visited Tesco in Commercial Road today, who have an accessible toilet. I have noticed as Disabled Student's officer there are many disabled toilets but no accessible ones. There are a variety of hidden disabilities which could be reasons why somebody may need to use a disabled toilet, e.g IBS or Chrons' disease. By making all the toilets accessible toilets it would allow everyone who needed to use these toilets feel more comfortable and would go one step further on breaking the stigma behind these disabilities.
