Sarah Brisdion explains why she is pushing for businesses to "do the right thing" and install toilets with an adult-sized bench and hoist to stop the ordeal that many disabled people have to go through when the want the loo.

Would you lie on a urine-soaked public toilet floor? Or would you lie a newborn baby on one?

Of course not. But currently, many businesses are allowing hundreds of thousands of disabled people in the UK, along with my seven-year-old son, Hadley, to endure just that.

Hadley, has cerebral palsy and is a full-time wheelchair user.

His disability means that he cannot stand unaided and is not always able to control his bowel and bladder.

He needs to lie down to have his clothes and underwear prepared before being transferred to the toilet or to have his continence items changed.
