And several of those that have already installed such a facility are reporting back that they are seeing a growth in pupil and student requests to attend the establishment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLatest statistics reveal that the number of disabled children has increased by 62% in the past 25 years, to almost 800,000. Some 150,000 (equivalent to 60%) of statemented children are now in mainstream schooling. Over 20,000 students have a disability &#8211; almost 6% of the student population. Legally, Statutory Instrument No 2 specifies the number of toilets that pupils MUST have, and lays down a minimum of 1 toilet for every 20 pupils over the age of 5, and the number of toilet facilities must be adequate having regard to age, gender, and any special requirements,\u201d explains Robin Tuffley, Cllos-o-Mat marketing manager.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are unique in being able to offer valid design advice, then supply, install, commission, and then service all the equipment for a hygiene room- whether a basic one with a mobile hoist, conventional WC, fixed changing bench and fixed basin, through to a comprehensive room with ceiling track hoist, height adjustable changing bench and basin, and a Clos-o-Mat \u2018wash and dry\u2019 toilet.\u201d<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Bishop David Brown School in Woking, and Wakefield College are just two seeing the benefits after using Clos-o-Mat to provide their hygiene rooms.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Richard Charles, Bishop David Brown\u2019s business manager, explained, \u201cWe are only a small school with some 520 pupils. We have a new student who is a wheelchair user, and upgraded the accessible toilet to enable them to participate as fully as possible in school life. Because we\u2019ve installed the equipment, we already have other disabled students coming next year!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Wakefield College further added, \u201cWe are showing a 1% increase a year in the number of learners who declared a disability. Our inclusive accommodation strategy aims to ensure that physical access is a major priority in all new developments. The provision of the hygiene rooms has been a major benefit to the students: the rooms are used every hour of every College day!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Clos-o-Mat ( <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clos-o-mat.com\" class=\"autohyperlink\">www.clos-o-mat.com<\/a>)is the UK\u2019s largest supplier and manufacturer of disabled toileting equipment.
