Create a more inclusive sign for disabled toilets and require universal use

Petition Details

Make disabled signs on toilets more inclusive to people with hidden disabilities. I have a stoma bag and I have the right to use disabled facilities but I am verbally attacked and abused by members of the public for doing so. We need to include everyone not just people in wheelchairs.

Additional Information

There are over 200,000 people living with a stoma bag that need to use the disabled facilities but we don’t look disabled. Hidden disabilities can be an array of different things. It can be someone that’s diabetic or someone that cares for a person with dementia or Alzheimer’s they can’t leave the person unattended so they maybe use the facilities too. It could be someone with severe arthritis but they like to use the hand rails but again they have walked into the toilet and not in a wheelchair.
