A schoolgirl is calling for signage on disabled bathrooms to be more inclusive

A schoolgirl is making tracks with a campaign to raise awareness of invisible disabilities.

ScotRail has become the latest organisation to support the Grace’s Sign campaign.

Thirteen-year-old Grace Warnock, who has Crohn’s Disease, came up with the idea for a more inclusive bathroom sign after facing criticism from strangers when she used accessible toilets.

Grace’s Sign is a bathroom sign that includes both a person in a wheelchair and a standing person with a heart, symbolising people with invisible conditions.

The innovative signs can also be found at locations across the country including at the Scottish Parliament, V&A Dundee and St Enoch shopping centre in Glasgow.

And now the train operator has announced it would install the signs at stations across Scotland.

ScotRail access and inclusion manager Andrew Marshall-Roberts said: “We are committed to making Scotland’s railway open and accessible to all and installing Grace’s Sign at our stations is just one of the ways we’re doing that.

“Grace is an inspiration and we’re proud to support her campaign to raise awareness that not all disabilities can be seen.”

Scottish Government Minister for Public Health, Sport and Wellbeing Joe FitzPatrick said: "Grace’s idea of an inclusive sign is a simple but effective way to highlight the accessibility challenges faced by many passengers.

“I am delighted to see this inspirational young individual’s idea put into practice on our rail network as it demonstrates shows the benefits of listening to and acting on the views of affected groups.

“It would be good to see even more locations and transport operators implement Grace’s sign."
