    Hey @gerrard. Welcome to Scope's forum. It is great to see you have joined us. How are you at the moment? 

    My understanding is that your employer will have to provide 'reasonable adjustments' under the Equality Act (2010).

    However, in terms of whether or not they will have to provide a disabled toilet, this depends on a couple of things including:

    • Is it a reasonable adjustment for your employer to provide a disabled toilet? 
    • Could you access toilet facilities that are already available without detriment?
    I hope this makes sense. Please don't hesitate to let us know if we can further support you with this or if you would like to discuss this further with us  :)
