Hi Tina,
it goes on the narrow side of the loo [the side the sink is on] near the
wall so it can sit behind the horizontal grab rail and roughly in line with
the front of the loo and must reach almost to the floor and there must be
training for cleaning staff so that they never 'tidy' it away and it should
have a bangle or triangle grip on the bottom and about a metre from the
floor. The general idea is that it is in reach by someone who has fallen on
the floor without being in the way and getting tangled in wheelchair or
other equipment.
Regards,
Vin
