What the petition asks
Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis are incurable Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) Sufferers need urgent and instant access to toilet facilities.
Shops and offices in the U.K. will not allow the public use of their toilet facilities, even if in an extremely distressed state.
We need it to be mandatory for businesses (shops, offices etc.) to allow sufferers access to their employees facilities, similar to an Act adopted by many of the United States known as the Restroom Access Act.
