We have two toilet blocks located at the top and bottom of the Middle Mall of the centre. These both include baby-changing facilities and accessible toilets. The toilet block at the top of the Middle Mall is also our Changing Places location, equipped with an adult-sized changing bench and hoist.
Braintree Village has taken guidance from Colostomy UK to provide stoma-friendly toilet facilities. All of our accessible toilets have been updated to include the correct Stoma Facilities. These can be found at the top of the middle mall next to Bedeck, and at bottom of the middle mall next to Samsonite. Each toilet now includes wall hooks, a colostomy bag shelf, a wall mirror and the correct disposal facilities.

We will be asking users of the sensory backpacks to return them after use to our Guest Services
Suite.
