  3. Any number of entry sets can be submitted, covering different locations in the same or separate buildings, towns or cities.
  4. All male, female, accessible and baby changing facilities will be separately graded and the overall entry grade will be the average grading awarded for the whole entry.
  5. Each entry will be assumed to include accessible and baby changing facilities, except where it is either unreasonable to provide an accessible toilet (e.g. upstairs café with no lift) or no babies are normally allowed (e.g. school toilet).Where accessible and/or baby changing facilities are not provided by an entry which we feel ought to be catering for special needs users and/or babies, the overall grading awarded is likely to be affected by the non-availability of these facilities.
