Changing Places Toilets
Access to toilet facilities is a fundamental human right. Changing Places Toilets (CPT) are larger accessible toilets, with specialist equipment. They are designed to meet the needs of disabled people who need carer support and equipment to use the facilities. CPTs ensure people have their personal care needs met, fulfilling this basic human right for them.
Changing Places Toilets Fund
The Scottish Government will invest £10 million over 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 to increase the number of Changing Places Toilets. We are aiming to fund around 150 additional Changing Places Toilets across Scotland.
The Changing Places Toilets Scotland Fund will launch in summer 2025, and will be open to applications in August 2025.
We are working in partnership with PAMIS (Promoting A More Inclusive Society), who are the Chair and co-founders of the Changing Places Consortium. PAMIS offer expert advice on CPTs in Scotland, to design the Fund criteria and application process.
If you are planning to apply to the Fund when it goes live please note your interest in funding. We also encourage you to start engaging locally on your plans and explore the information and resources available on the PAMIS website.
The Changing Places Toilets planning guide (November 2022) provides information and guidance to those considering installing a CPT in both existing and new buildings.
