Not everyone with a hidden disability requires assistance, but for those that do the sunflower lanyard discretely indicates that a person may need additional support, understanding or simply more time. It may be also worn by those who are exempt from wearing a face covering.

Launched in 2016, the scheme has quickly grown into the most widely known hidden disabilities schemes in the UK. Please bear in mind that not everyone who identifies as having a disability will choose to wear a sunflower lanyard.

Lanyards are being provided by the University for those that require one and can be collected from Trent Building reception, Cherry Tree Lodge and libraries.
