A disability campaigner from Preston Lodge High School who created inclusive toilet signs has finally seen them take pride of place in her own school.

Grace Warnock designed the signs six years ago, gaining recognition from then-Prime Minister Theresa May and receiving the Point of Light award on a visit to Downing Street in 2018 for her work in disability awareness.

Grace is a pioneering disability campaigner who created a new, inclusive toilet sign which can now be seen on the doors of hundreds of toilets throughout Scotland, including in the Scottish Parliament.

However, there had never been full metal versions of her sign installed at her own school – until now.

Grace, who was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at the age of 10, launched her Grace’s Sign campaign to raise awareness that not everybody who uses an accessible toilet has a visible disability, after continually facing criticism for using accessible toilets.

A spokesperson for Preston Lodge said: “We are delighted that, after many years of delay, Grace Warnock’s hugely successful accessible toilets sign is now proudly adorning our seven accessible toilet doors.

“These toilets are available to all students who would prefer to use an individual facility, and we have reminded students in assemblies this week where they can be found – we have always used Grace’s sign but only now do we have real, metal versions on our doors.

“Grace is now in our S6 and, although all sorts of obstacles had to be overcome to ensure they were used at PL, we are really pleased that we got this over the line before Grace moves on beyond school.

“Well done and thank you Grace!”
