Independent access to locked public toilets
The RADAR National Key Scheme offers independent access for disabled people to over 9,000 locked public toilets across the UK. RADAR keys are used by around 400 local authorities to give people with disabilities access to locked accessible toilets.
RADAR keys can be bought online from Disability Rights UK or you can call them on 0203 687 0790.
You may be asked to provide confirmation or proof of your disability when you purchase a key.
You could provide one of the following:
- proof that you are in receipt of a disability benefit.
- proof that you are a Blue Badge holder.
- a doctor’s letter giving details of your medical condition or disability.
The keys can be also bought locally from:
Tourist Information Centres:
Knaresborough: Market Place, HG5 8AG 01423 866886
Other:
Masham Community Hub, Little Market Place, HG4 4DY 01765 680200
Nidderdale Plus Community Hub, Pateley Bridge, HG3 5AT 01423 714953
RADAR keys can also be bought elsewhere online but take care when buying as some may not be genuine.
