Martello Changing Places Facility

Seaford Martello Changing Places

The Seaford Martello facility is intended for use by disabled people who require assistance of a carer or need extra facilities.

This is not a quick access facility – there is a membership application process which must be followed before access can be granted.

Access can be gained by completing and returning a membership form (download here Changing Places Membership Form) for the access code to be sent to you, membership forms are processed within 10 working days. You will also need to purchase your own radar key; this will not be provided by Seaford Town Council.

Evidence of top/mid-rate Disabled Living Allowance (DLA), Personal Independence Payment (PIP) or Diagnosis Letter must be provided for the code to be issued (you will only have to show this once). Carers must also provide proof of ID.

The requirement for submission of a membership form and provision of ID before the access code is issued is due to the equipment at the facilities being of a specialist nature and requiring relevant experience.

What is a Changing Places toilet?

A Changing Places toilet is somewhere private and clean with the correct equipment for disabled adults and children to use when out and about.

How do they differ from a disabled toilet?

Unlike standard disabled toilets, the Changing Places has extra specialist equipment and plenty of space for the user and more than one carer.

What extra equipment is included?

A height adjustable changing bed
A tracking hoist system – Changing Places toilets DO NOT supply slings, so you will need to bring your own.
A centrally placed toilet with room either side for carers
Screen for privacy
Paper roll to cover the bed
Yellow waste bin for disposable pads
Non slip floor
