New Legislation Introduced to Regulate Single-Sex and Universal Toilets
The government is set to introduce new regulations for single-sex toilet facilities in non-domestic buildings, addressing concerns related to safety, privacy, and dignity. This new law is a response to a recent consultation, where 81% of respondents supported the intention to maintain separate single-sex toilets, and 82% supported offering universal toilets when space permits. Universal toilets are private, fully enclosed rooms with a toilet and a washbasin for individual use.
