There are many accessible toilets in Salford.
Levels of accessibility vary a lot, so you may need to check that you would be able to use them. Some accessible toilets need a special RADAR key to open them - available for £3.45 from Burrows House or Civic Centre.
If you want more advice or you feel that you need more support, contact Adult Social Care which may be able to assess your situation and discuss the type of support you need.
Adult social care is now provided by Northern Care Alliance
