Idea
Have radar keys available for disabled students to take so they can access all accessible toilets.
Category: Accomodation
We're working on making all facilities across the University as accessible as possible and are currently in meetings to achieve this. In yhe mean time, Radar keys can be obtained for free by emailing the wellbeing/ disabled services directly where they hold a stock of them available.
We are looking at getting a stock of them for the SU as well and will provide an update on this.
In a few establishments around Bangor, some of which are University, have accessible toilets that require a radar key to open. Many disabled people don't have radar keys and therefore cannot access the toilets without having to ask staff, which can be embarassing for some. I propose that the students union should have a supply of radar keys to give to students upon request so that they don't have to worry about whether or not they'll have access to a bathroom anywhere in Bangor.
Comments
Highly agree as buying radar keys as an individual is a cost not many can afford to spare. Having an accessible toilet shouldn't be a luxury!
