RADAR National Key Scheme (NKS)

Toilets
for disabled people are often locked up to help prevent them being vadalised.
But in doing this it can also stop those in need from gaining access to the
facilites. 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, or the housing offices in Lancing and Southwick, 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/nks/page.aspx?pageid=10&tab=RADAR+Accessible+Toilets&level=1).
RADAR keys may also be used on other facilities - eg resticting vehilcuar access to Lancing and Sompting Cemetery allowing disabled people to unlock the double gates to take their cars in.
