Provide baby changing facilities in all male public toilets

Closed 529 signatures

What the petition asks

As a male I find it very hard to find baby changing rooms in the UK that males can use to change their babies. A lot of female toilets have baby changing facilities to change their babies but males can't use these.
I want the Government to make the UK more unisex friendly and let male parents have more access to baby changing facilities. As a gay male I have a special guardian ship for my nephew and we have been to public places where the baby changing facilities are only in the female toilets. Sometimes men are reduced to using outdoor tables to change their baby’s nappy.
