Language is a personal thing, some people will identify as being a disabled person and some will prefer person with a disability. Majority of disabled folks don’t use euphemisms, because they know it’s a neutral term so no need to sugarcoat it as it doesn’t need sweetening!

Would you accept having to lie on a toilet floor? Would you accept a loved one having to? This is the reality for thousands of people when venues do not provide #ChangingPlacesToilets. Get involved today and help us change that: ow.ly/hTxl50IXKZg #AccessbilityMatters

Braille, invented by Louis Braille in the 1800s, is more than dots. It's a lifeline for the blind, transforming touch into text. Ever notice those dots on signs and packaging? They're there to make the world readable for people like me. #BrailleBringsClarity #InclusiveWorld

Venues, don't forget to send us your plans before you install your #ChangingPlacesToilet - that way they can be checked by the consortium and you'll have peace of mind that your CPT will be able to be officially recognised and registered once complete! #AccessibilityMatters
An example blueprint for a Changing Places toilet floorplan. The equipment is all well-placed, with the toilet and washbasin being peninsular, and everything is well positioned to allow enough turning space for a wheelchair. The Changing Places logo is featured.

Street curbs create issues for many disabled people They cause trips and falls, can be painful for wheelchair users to bump up and down and in some instances make it impossible to access pavements and roads safely So, how could we make street curbs better? I’ll go first…

Ticket offices at train stations aren't just a place to pay your fare. They are vital hubs of information, advice and support to help many, including disabled people, navigate our rail network. A rail network which, frankly, isn't always highly accessible. (1/2)

🚨Ticket office closure consultations have now gone live. Take action now. Use our template letter to OBJECT and stop these unjust plans in their tracks. These disastrous plans cannot be allowed to go through. #NotJustTheTicket transportforall.org.uk/campa…
