An organisational Blue Badge will only be issued to organisations that both care for and transport disabled people. They would themselves be eligible for an individual Blue Badge under one or more of these categories -
- children aged two or under with medical needs
- people aged three or over who are automatically eligible
- people aged three or over who may be eligible under certain criteria
The badge can only be used and displayed when transporting any of these qualifying people.
Following the application, we will decide if the organisation applying has a clear need for a Blue Badge. Common examples of organisations that may be eligible include residential care homes, hospices, or local authority social services department.
Organisational Blue Badges are issued to individual sites. They cannot be shared across multiple sites owned by the organisation.
