Toilets For All Types Of Users
Loo of the Year Awards are helping Britain’s 11 million registered disabled people, so that they can undertake their personal hygiene needs in and out of the home, in the most appropriate environment.
Mike Bone said: “The directors of the Awards have supported and encouraged development and expansion of toilet facilities for all types of users. Not just for able bodied adults but also babies and children, those adults and children who need accessible facilities and adults and children who need Changing Places toilets or School Hygiene Rooms.”
Changing Places toilets have more space, to accommodate a disabled person, wheelchair and up to two carers, and, as standard include an adult-sized changing bench, hoist and privacy screen, as well as a peninsular toilet and washbasin. Hygiene Rooms meet the needs of disabled pupils and students.
Loo Of The Year Awards Inspectors
Loo of the Year Awards inspection and judging criteria are based on the user’s perspective and their needs, and are designed to determine fitness for purpose, functionality and attractiveness.
There is a team of nine trained and experienced inspectors in the Loo of the Year Awards team. They inspect and grade entries in dedicated areas i.e. Ireland, Scotland, Wales and regions of England including the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.
The team inspect and record details of their assessment of each entry using a grading assessment form. They judge up to 100 different criteria covering all aspects of toilet provision to produce award grades for each type of toilet and an overall grade. This is a tried and tested process and ensures consistency of grading throughout the country.
The entire Loo of the Year Awards team, including the inspectors, meet after the inspections have been completed and compare results for all entries and decide which entrants will be awarded the national awards and overall trophies.

Loo Advice
Loo of the Year Awards has inspected many thousands of toilets in all types of buildings, in all market sectors and throughout the UK since 1987. Their staff and senior management are all experienced in all aspects of ‘away from home’ toilet provision and in a unique position to use that knowledge to provide information and advice on entrants or other clients facilities.
They are therefore able to provide bespoke inspections of existing toilet facilities or critique plans for new facilities and provide advice and recommendations including layout, compliance with relevant British Standards and Building Regulations Document M, fixtures and fittings, sustainability, infection control, washroom service options, etc.
The Awards website also includes a Loo Advice section which provides useful information on toilet design, toilet ratios, best practice, cleaning guidelines and colour coding. It also includes information on the Loo of the Year Awards Consultancy Service, and Loo Monitor Service, a valuable additional service available from Loo of the Year Awards. This is used to monitor performance more frequently than annual entry in the main Loo of the Year Awards and extremely useful in benchmarking trends in supplier performance.
