Radar works with anyone experiencing ill health, injury or disability.The National Key Scheme (NKS), sometimes known as the RADAR Scheme offers access to disabled toilet facilities in the community.

The scheme was developed because some public toilets designed for disabled people had to be locked to prevent damage and misuse resulting in them being locked. The scheme aims to provide disabled key holders with independent access to the toilets provided for them and increase the likelihood of the facilities being in a useable state. 
 

When a Council joins the scheme, standard locks are fitted to their accessible toilets and keys are made available to people with disabilities. Over 400 local authorities in all parts of the country have now adopted the scheme, including Newham. In addition to public conveniences, toilets for disabled people provided by a wide range of other public, voluntary and commercial organisations have been fitted with the NKS lock. So it can now be found in shopping centres, country parks, railway and bus stations, bars, motorway service areas and sports venues.

 

All of Newham's disabled access public toilets are fitted with a RADAR National Key Scheme lock. Follow the link below for a list of accessible public toilets in Newham.
