Face Covering exemption

[Doddery]

For people in the UK there is a Company , Hidden Disabilities, that sells badges, lanyards, plastic wallets and many other items. I also know you can pick up some of their goods in supermarkets for free as well. Their latest item on their books is for a card that reads "Face covering exempt". Here is the link to the page for the face covering exemption card. hiddendisabilitiesstore.com...

I think you can get exemption cards free from the government. I‘ll see if I can dig out the link!

Here is the .gov link for exemption card download gov.uk/government/publicati...

The law says you don't have to provide proof but for those who have lost their voice or just doesn't want to use the voice, the download is a good option.

Thanks for this link.

Will the BLF be producing and selling these? I’d rather spend my money at BLF but in the absence of choice I’ll buy the card (and mask) from the hidden disability website.

[HungryHufflepuff in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

I just realised that’s kind of a contradiction in terms 🙄 I will endeavour to wear a mask but when it gets too much or I need to take it off to get a breath, I’ll have the card as a backup.

[Bkin in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Yes I'm the same but today with humidity I just can't keep the mask on for long, want to be protected, but really difficult breathing, good to have the back up exempt card.

[Bkin in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

the're both free downloads, onto your phone, as a document to print etc. I have the BLF one on my phone but I am going to print off a few sizes onto an A4 sheet then laminate and trim them.
