What\u2019s it all about?<\/strong><\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>

We are working with a number of the GDA member charities and the States Disability Officer to identify how we can improve the shopping, eating out, travelling and overall Guernsey experience for islanders and visitors with hidden disabilities.<\/p>\n

If this applies to you or someone you\u2019re out or travelling with, we can offer you a the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower lanyard to wear whilst you are out and about.<\/p>\n

If you are wearing the lanyard, staff (and others including the police and constables) should recognise it and understand that you have a hidden disability and that you may need a little extra help or time. However, they will not know what your particular disability is, or what challenges and issues you may face. If you have specific requirements, please ask a member of staff for help.<\/p>\n
