Planner and Installation Considerations

Planner and Installation Considerations by Epcot Admin February 2025 Planner and Installation Considerations Many people using public washroom facilities rarely stop to consider the difficulties faced by those with disabilities. It prompts an important question: why aren’t accessible cubicles more widely available – and why isn’t access made simpler? There’s a clear need for greater effort in ensuring that inclusive, user-friendly facilities are provided for those who depend on them. It seems the provisions of the Equality Act 2010 aren’t always upheld in practice. But where does the responsibility lie – with planners, designers, or installers? At some point, there must be a collective commitment to ensuring that everyone is treated with equal consideration, regardless of their individual needs. There is no justification for failing to provide the necessary facilities when space is available. Equally, these facilities should never be tucked away in a corner. More must be done to ensure equality for all, irrespective of their abilities. https://www.gov.uk/definition-of-disability-under-equality-act-2010 https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/contents
