“Toilets Matter” – a short guide to law and good practice
Published in October, “Toilets Matter” is a brief but comprehensive guide, giving reliable advice to any organisation that provides toilets for use by members of the public. Based on the law, good practice, and research carried out in 2022, the guide deals with the often-misunderstood issue of single-sex toilet provision, also with design issues and appropriate signage.
