What are Assistance Animal ID Cards?

Assistance Animal ID Cards are a valuable tool for individuals with disabilities who rely on the assistance of their animals to navigate their daily lives. These cards serve as proof that the animal is a working animal and is permitted by law to accompany its owner in public places in the UK under the Equality Act 2010.

The Equality Act 2010 is a comprehensive piece of legislation that prohibits discrimination and provides legal protection against discrimination based on a person's protected characteristics, such as age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, and sex.

Under the Equality Act 2010, individuals with disabilities have the right to be accompanied by their assistance animals in all places that are open to the public, such as restaurants, hotels, and shops. The law requires service providers to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that disabled individuals can access their services and facilities with their assistance animals.

However, not everyone is aware of these laws, and access to public places can be denied. This is where Assistance Animal ID Cards come in handy. These cards can be shown to service providers to inform them that the animal is a working animal and is permitted to accompany its owner under the Equality Act 2010. The cards also serve as a reminder to the public that the animal is a working animal and should not be petted.

It's important to note that Emotional Support Animals do not have the same legal rights as Assistance Animals under the Equality Act 2010. While Emotional Support Animals can provide comfort and support to their owners, they are not considered working animals and do not have the same level of legal protection.

Assistance Animal ID Cards are made from biodegradable plastic and are conveniently credit card-sized. They can be purchased with holders and lanyards, and holes can be punched in them for easy attachment to collars upon request.
