Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

Who is eligible for the Face Covering Exempt Lanyard?

If you are a National Carers Card holder, or National Disability Card holder, and are unable to wear a face covering when it is advised, then you are eligible for this lanyard.

Why might a carer be exempt from covering their face?

Your caregiving responsibilities might make mask-wearing difficult if covering your face would negatively impact the person you care for. For example, if the person you care for is deaf and relies on lip-reading to communicate.

I don’t have a National Carers Card. Can I still buy this lanyard?

Our lanyards are exclusively reserved for card holders. This approach safeguards the integrity of the messages conveyed and guarantees that only individuals with a genuine need can access its benefits.

I am already a Cardholder. How can I buy this lanyard?

If you already have a National Carers Card, simply use the form at this link to order your lanyard.

When am I obliged to wear a face covering?

Although face coverings are no longer mandated by law, the government, as of March 2024, emphasises their significance in mitigating the transmission of respiratory infections. According to government advice, wearing a well-fitting face covering, such as one made with multiple layers or a surgical face mask, can reduce the risk of spreading respiratory infections to others. While wearing a face covering remains optional, individuals retain the freedom to decide whether they wish to use one.‍
