Pershore College, nestled in the picturesque town of Pershore, Worcestershire, is a leading institution known for its exceptional educational programs, particularly in horticulture. Serving a diverse community of over 1,200 students, the college is dedicated to providing an inclusive and supportive environment for both day and boarding students. Recently, to better accommodate a disabled student, Pershore College recognised the need for a permanent, high-quality hygiene room to replace a portable trailer Changing Places unit.
Key Features of the Hygiene Room
Changing Places facilities go beyond standard accessible toilets by offering additional space and equipment tailored to the needs of individuals with more complex requirements. These facilities are essential for creating an environment where everyone can participate fully and comfortably.
Astor OT200 Ceiling Hoist: This advanced hoist system provides effortless and safe transfers for students with mobility challenges, ensuring they can move with dignity and ease.
Astor ABW-CP Washbasin: The ABW-CP Washbasin allows for easy access, whether the user is standing or seated. Its ergonomic design ensures comfort and ease of use, enhancing the overall experience of the hygiene room.
Kwickscreen: Privacy is paramount in any hygiene facility. The Kwickscreen system offers flexible, portable privacy screens that can be easily adjusted to suit the needs of each user.
All Accessories: From grab rails and shower chairs to non-slip flooring and emergency call systems, every detail has been meticulously planned to provide a safe and supportive space.
Importance of Hygiene Rooms in Education
Hygiene rooms in educational institutions are more than just a convenience—they are a necessity. They provide students with disabilities the freedom and confidence to attend school and participate fully in their education. These facilities ensure that all students can maintain their dignity, hygiene, and comfort throughout the school day.
In schools, a well-equipped hygiene room can make a significant difference in the daily lives of students with disabilities. It promotes independence, reduces the need for assistance from caregivers, and ensures that students can take care of their personal hygiene in a safe and comfortable environment.Â
A Roomy and Welcoming Space
The hygiene room at Pershore College is designed to be large and accommodating, providing ample space for students and caregivers to move around freely. Located within one of the boarding blocks, it is easily accessible for students who live on campus, ensuring that they have round-the-clock access to this vital facility.
Conclusion
The installation of the hygiene room at Pershore College is a testament to the institution’s dedication to supporting all of its students. Our goal is always to create spaces that are not only functional but also comfortable and welcoming.
We believe that every student deserves the best possible environment in which to learn and thrive, and we are committed to making that a reality through our innovative and accessible designs.
