Require child friendly hand washing facilities in public and business toilets

Open for signatures 24 signatures

What the petition asks

Make it mandatory for public and business-owned toilets to have accessible hand washing facilities for children. A simple step would suffice.
Parents often have to try and lift their children up and wash their hands at the same time when at a public or business toilet, resulting them squashing them or nearly dropping them. Some have lower sinks for children but most don’t.
