Petition Action

Make it a requirement to have toilets available for claimants in Jobcentres.

Petition Details

I have read several instances of people attending meetings in Job Centres being refused permission to use toilets and then soiling themselves. Some disabilities mean that people need use of toilets urgently, one example is Crohn's Disease, but there are many others.

Additional Information

Here is one example of a disabled woman being refused use of a toilet in the Job Centre that was reported in the press:
