RADAR National Key Scheme (NKS)
Toilets
for disabled people are often locked up to help prevent them being vandalised.
But in doing this it can also stop those in need from gaining access to the
facilities. To assist those who require access to these special accessible
toilet facilities (across the whole of the country) the 'RADAR key scheme'
was introduced.
RADAR keys are available from the Help Point at the Civic Centre for those that need access to disabled toilets and facilities along with a list of facilities in the local area.
You can also find out more about the RADAR accessible toilets National Key Scheme, and find lists of RADAR accessible facilities nationwide, on the Direct Enquiries - The Nationwide Access Register website (www.directenquiries.com/wwwsearch.aspx?st=what&tab=Search+Results&where=&what=accessible+toilet&level=1&tbclr=1).
RADAR keys may also be used on other facilities - eg restricting vehicular access to Lancing and Sompting Cemetery allowing disabled people to unlock the double gates to take their cars in.
