Accessible toilets

The RADAR Key Scheme or National Key Scheme (NKS) offers disabled people independent access to locked public toilets around the country. The Royal Association for Disability and Rehabilitation, which is now Disability Rights UK, worked in partnership with Nicholls & Clarke, the inventors of the RADAR lock and together they created the National Key Scheme (NKS). The first RADAR locks were fitted in 1981 to help keep accessible toilets free from vandalism and misuse.

For more information on RADAR keys and locations, and where keys can be purchased, please contact your local council or Disability Rights UK (opens in new tab). To find out if there are any RADAR toilets near your travel destination, you can use the Great British Public Toilet Map (opens in new tab) website.

Changing Places toilets (opens in new tab) offer additional equipment and facilities, over and above a standard accessible toilet. They are designed to allow people with more complex disabilities to use the toilets safely and comfortably. Use the Changing Places map (opens in new tab) to locate a toilet near you.

Immunisation and Vaccines

Wales is following the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advice on who is eligible for COVID-19 vaccinations. People at highest risk of serious illness from COVID-19 infection will be offered a COVID-19 vaccination. We recommend that you have your vaccination as soon as it is offered to you.

Further information about the COVID-19 vaccination is available here (opens in new tab).

The people at high risk of COVID-19 are generally the same people at increased risk of becoming very ill with flu. If you think you might have missed the invitation for a flu vaccine, contact your GP or your community pharmacy.

Further information about the flu vaccination is available here (opens in new tab).
