Accessing Public Toilets
Crohn's & Colitis Ireland are highlighting the need for all businesses and public amenities to support people living with IBD by allowing those presenting the CCI “No Waiting” card access to public toilets.
Living with IBD can be a daily struggle, many people living with Crohn's or Colitis have been refused access to a public toilet in urgent situations.
