Where should checkvalves (single & double) be installed?

I'm just about to fit out our en-suites, which consist of:

1 x Bar mixer shower (built in check valve)

1 x Mixer tap on basin - should this be on the cold or hot feed or both?

1 x WC - I can't imagine how backflow could happen here, but some suggest that a checkvalve should be installed on the feed?

I've googled, read forums, but everyone seems to contradict one another!

Check valves (single) on both sides of the mixer tap. Service valve on the WC.
