Require inclusive changing tables for disabled children in public venues

Closed 60 signatures

What the petition asks

Many disabled children still need changing support, but most baby tables can’t hold their weight. Families are forced to use unsafe, undignified spaces. Children deserve better. We need stronger, more inclusive changing tables.
Current baby changing tables are only built for infants, leaving older disabled children without safe facilities. Parents often have no choice but to use floors or car boots. We’re asking councils and public venues to install stronger, higher-weight changing tables in all public areas so every child can be changed safely and with dignity. Small changes can make a huge difference for families like mine.
