Terms of Use
The Changing Place facility is not intended for independent use and the user would normally be accompanied by a carer. Only one fob to the facility per person or carer will be provided.
Changing Places are intended for disabled customers who require the assistance of a carer to use the facility. To use the Four Seasons Changing Place, users are required to register with Mansfield District Council to obtain a fob for access to the facility. Evidence of high rated Disability Living Allowance, Personal Independent Payment, Attendance Allowance or diagnosis letter must be provided before a fob can be issued. Fobs are registered to an individual and are not to be transferred between users. Misuse of the facility or fob may result in the fob being blocked and the user unable to access the facility.
This facility is not intended as a baby changing facility or a standard disabled toilet, there are alternative facilities at this location for these users.
As a carer using the facility you will need to satisfy yourself that the slings you are using are compatible with the hoist prior to use. Mansfield District Council does not supply slings for health and safety reasons. If there is any doubt as to the compatibility of slings, then the hoist should not be used. The hoist that is supplied in this facility is the Astor Bannerman A2b and comes with a loop system hanging bar.
Prior to using the facility, please use the protective paper provided and remove the paper after use, leaving the changing bench clean for the next user.
All soiled or disposable material should be placed in the sanitary bin provided. Please take all soiled clothing away and be considerate to other users by leaving the room clean and tidy.
