The physical card acts as a photo ID that can be used to easily communicate your access requirements to events and venues, so that the venues can provide accessibility to the needs of their visitors.
It also works online with other platforms like ticketing systems, to unlock the access facilities you need.
The card shows a photo ID and translates a persons disability or impairment into symbols, effectively highlighting the barriers they face and the reasonable adjustments they might need.
The Access Card app provides you with a personalised directory of venues, with first-class accessibility information to help you plan your trips.
A Disabled Person's Railcard entitles the holder and an adult companion to one-third off most train fares across England, Scotland and Wales – we've more info on how it works above- follow the link.

New content includes a guide for parents and carers on humping and thrusting behaviour to help them understand and respond to this behaviour in a supportive, non-shaming and proactive way.

NSPCC PANTS rule for SEND- guide for parents:
The Talk PANTS campaign was developed in consultation with children, parents, carers and teachers. The programme for schools includes activity plans for children in early years (ages 3-5), lesson plans for children aged 5-11 as well as a lesson specifically designed for children with SEND. These lessons help tackle abuse by teaching children that their body belongs to them, how to identify parts of the body that are private, the importance of consent, and building confidence to speak out and get help.

Our simple guide will help parents and carers teach their children the PANTS rules.
