Require child-accessible facilities in both public and business-owned toilets

Closed 37 signatures

What the petition asks

Many public and business-owned toilets are inaccessible to children (e.g. they need to climb or be lifted to reach soap/taps etc). We're asking the Government to require accessible sinks, dryers, soap etc. are provided for kids in these places.
Given that children make up a large part of our society, it feels unfair that kids aren't always considered. Regardless of their age, children are people, and therefore have a right to accessible facilities like everyone else. If public and business-owned toilets are required to have features that make facilities accessible to children, we believe it will help all children feel happier, valued and more independent.
