Details

The Distance Aware initiative

The Distance Aware initiative has been recently endorsed by the Department of Health and Social Care to promote the need for ongoing distancing for all. Also endorsed by Welsh Government and supported by the Bevan Commission, (along with design guidelines and a comms pack for organisations). You can also find links to places where you can acquire badges or lanyards.

They are another example that can be used to signal to others around them that they need to pay attention and be given space.
