The Changing Places toilet is located on Level 1, near Frasers and M&S. This contains a toilet, hoist, bed, and height-adjustable sink.

Please note that we do not provide slings and advise you to check with your sling manufacturer to ensure they are compatible. Due to the specialist needs of individuals, Derbion staff are unable to provide assistance in the use of this facility.

Please be assured that our team will clean the facility between every use.

Hidden Disabilities

Sunflower Lanyards

Like most public buildings, we understand the importance behind the sunflower lanyard as we recognise not all disabilities are visible.

Our staff are trained to help, support, listen, and recognise that you may need that extra bit of time in our shops too.

To help us identify those who have hidden disabilities such as autism, please ensure you have your sunflower lanyard visible.

Sunflower lanyards are available to can purchase here.

Assistance Dogs

Like most public buildings, Derbion welcomes assistance dogs in the centre. If your dog does not wear a high-vis jacket or harness, it is sometimes difficult for our staff to recognise the difference between assistance dogs and pets, which are not allowed in our centres.
