Changing Places International

24/04/2025

Changing Places International is a not for profit organisation that creates awareness, supports and educates the drive towards installation of vital changing and hygiene facilities in the built environment on a global scale.

Changing Places International administers a global map of approved Changing Places that conform to international and regional standards. This international resource is an addition to the national maps, with the intention of bringing the benefits of a global perspective

- International travellers and accessible tourism
- Campaigners and campaign groups to use case studies outside their geography
- Reference sites for approved Changing Places
- Knowledge sharing

The map illustrates the growth and strength on a global scale of the momentum to include Changing Places in the Built Environment

Changing Places International are working closely with the national and local organisations to have conforming Changing Places registered on the global map (either as a global standard or regional standard).

To add or omit qualifying Changing Places on the international map please apply via the link below (if you are an organisation with multiple sites to upload please feel free to contact us).

To ensure standards are upheld the use of the Changing Places ™ logo in most countries can only be used on a facility that is certified and conforms to applicable standards.

Norway leads Scandinavia with x4 new Changing Places

Thanks to the close co-operation between Etac AS, Changing Places Norge and McDonalds, Norway 🇳🇴 opened two Changing Places in McDonalds restaurants with two more to follow before the summer. This means Norway has more Changing Places than the other Scandinavian countries !

Congratulations to all involved and we look forward to seeing many more Changing Places being installed across Scandinavia.

These Changing Places all have a unique hoist design, height adjustable changing table and accessories are now published on the Changing Places International map (see our website - link in comments).

There is a very powerful video illustrating perfectly why Etac Norway have put so much into pioneering Changing Places in Norway. https://www.changingplacesinternational.org/norway-leads-the-way-thanks-to-mcdonalds

❝Changing Places has a double meaning; changing rooms for everyone and making society accessible to everyone.
It is about opportunities for everyone to take part in society, regardless of disability. Good sanitary conditions are essential for participation. ❞
