Navigating public spaces with a working or in-training dog can be overwhelming, especially when unexpected access challenges arise. This lanyard set has been thoughtfully created to support people who benefit from extra advocacy tools—especially in moments where words may be hard to find.
It features our 25mm-wide, dual-sided lanyard in our signature grey colour with bold yellow and white text: "Do Not Distract", alongside four visual symbols: ❌ Stop Sign, 🚫 Do Not Stare, 🚫 Do Not Talk, 🚫 Do Not Touch.
It includes a transparent black card holder and a double-sided Access Awareness card, designed to communicate access information in a calm and clear way.The card itself is made from sturdy aluminium and is printed on both sides.
🟡 Card Options:

- How you can help Assistance Dog Teams
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) have created a guide for businesses on how to aid accessibility for those with Assistance Dogs.
Assistance Dogs can be trained by ADUK-member charities and equally by owner trainers. Both are accepted by the UK Government.
My dog helps me on a daily basis by aiding my disability. Disabilities may be invisible and each handler’s needs and requirements are different.
This is not a formal identification card but designed to make information accessible.
