In a bid to address safety, privacy, and dignity concerns, new legislation is set to bring forth requirements for single-sex toilet facilities in new non-domestic buildings. The move follows a consultation on the proposals, where a majority of respondents voiced their agreement with the intention to implement separate single-sex facilities and universal toilets where feasible.

According to the results, 81% of respondents supported the idea of separate single-sex toilet facilities, while 82% agreed with the provision of universal toilets where space permits. Universal toilets, defined as self-contained, fully enclosed facilities with a wash hand basin for individual use, aim to accommodate diverse needs efficiently.
