The National Key Scheme offers independent access to Disabled People to around 4,000 locked public toilets around the country.  RADAR would like all providers of accessible toilets to keep their toilets unlocked if at all possible.  The National Key Scheme (NKS) is suggested only if the provider concerned has to keep the toilets locked to stop vandalism and misuse.

RADAR makes no profit in supplying keys, but has to charge VAT for keys.  In order to apply zero rate for keys supplied to Disabled People, orders must state the name and address of the Disabled person with a declaration of an impairment (e.g. ''I am a Disabled Person and I wish to buy a National Key Scheme Key'').

Organisations applying for bulk orders must supply a Zero Rate Certificate.

Please note that the toilets are the property of the providers concerned, and as such, any queries or problems concerning a toilet should be directed to that provider, rather than RADAR.

For orders received without the name and address of the Disabled Person and a declaration of his/her impairment, they are obliged, by law, to charge VAT. The cost is £3.50 + VAT = £4.11.
