How to Use Your RADAR Key

Access 10,000+ Disabled Toilets

Now you no longer have to wait in the queue to use facilities that may not be clean or adapted to your needs. Get access to the facilities you need, when you need them.

Open Changing Places Toilets

Changing Places are accessible toilets with additional features such as extra space, an adult changing bench, and a hoist. Typically, Changing Places require a RADAR Key for access, although some may require special arrangements with the venue they are located in.

Accessible Countryside Gates

Some accessible countryside gates require a RADAR Key for access. They often feature an "H" frame with a rectangular enclosure for use by mobility scooters and wheelchair users.

Do’s and Don’ts for RADAR Key Toilets

Do avoid any potential embarrassment by checking first that the accessible toilet is unoccupied. Most accessible toilets do lock from the inside, but occasionally the occupier may have forgotten to lock the door, meaning your RADAR Key will still open it.

Do refrain from judging whether a person should or should not be using an accessible toilet, as not all disabilities are visible to others. A variety of conditions and issues, some obvious and some hidden, may necessitate the use of an accessible toilet. 

Don’t use an accessible toilet without a legitimate reason. This may prevent individuals with disabilities from accessing the facilities they need, potentially causing discomfort, distress, or embarrassment. For this reason, we only offer RADAR Keys to our Cardholders, whose disability or carer status we have verified.
