Advanced assistive products from world leading manufacturer and designer Pressalit have been installed in Leuchie House, a national respite charity that provides transformational care for its guests.

Have you ever needed to ‘go’ when away from home, and not been able to easily find a toilet? Add to that feeling the fact that you need more space, or special equipment, or that you’ve had an accident because of continence problems.

The bathroom is a challenging place for someone with mobility issues or dementia and here Stuart Reynolds, Head of Product and Marketing at AKW, shows how inclusive bathroom design has helped both carers and residents at Lypiatt Lodge in Cheltenham. He also discusses how these principles can be replicated in any home.

Joe Bell from the Formica Group discusses attitudes to disabled toilets and the influence of specification.

While the traditional model for SEN (Special Educational Needs) school and college provision follows the mainstream example of classroom-based learning, Head Teacher of Michael Tippett School, Marilyn Ross, has very different ideas about what the students of the recently-established Michael Tippett College in the London Borough of Lambeth actually need.

There has been much debate on social media of late about the inaccessibility of wheelchair-accessible toilets, says Kelvin Grimes, Away From Home Project Manager at Clos-o-Mat.
