Kingston Council is proud to announce that we are now a sunflower-friendly organisation, demonstrating our commitment to a fairer and more inclusive environment for all, including those with non-visible disabilities.
As part of this, we are providing free Sunflower lanyards to both residents and staff. These lanyards offer a discreet way for individuals to indicate that they may need additional time, support, or understanding as they go about their daily activities within the borough.
In addition, all Kingston council staff members have been provided with a comprehensive training module to raise awareness and sensitivity towards hidden disabilities. This training ensures that our teams understand the unique challenges faced by individuals with non-visible disabilities and equips them with the skills to offer appropriate support and assistance when needed.
By joining this programme, Kingston Council is taking meaningful steps to ensure that our borough is a place where everyone feels seen, valued, and supported.
