Equality Act 2010: Washroom Refurbishment Compliance Guide

Overview

If you’re planning to refurbish your commercial or public washroom facilities, understanding your legal obligations under the Equality Act 2010 is essential.

Originally introduced through the Disability Discrimination Act 2005 (DDA) and now consolidated into the Equality Act, this legislation requires that facilities be accessible, inclusive, and free from barriers that may disadvantage disabled users.

Whether you’re upgrading existing toilet areas or planning a full redesign, your washrooms must be designed with accessibility in mind from the start.
