Distance Aware Scheme
A new initiative has launched in Scotland to encourage people to respect the space of others when they’re out and about.
The Distance Aware scheme offers everyone who would feel more comfortable when they have more room, the chance to wear an
easily recognisable symbol to show others they need space and care.
The polite prompt is designed to support those who are worried about being in public places, for whatever reason, and help them
feel more confident when going about their daily life.
Free lanyards and badges featuring the Distance Aware shield are available from libraries across the country, with badges also free to pick up in ASDA stores or online from participating charities, free or
for a small donation.
We can all play our part as we adapt to
living with COVID-19. To find out more, visit
www.gov.scot/distanceaware
If you see someone wearing this symbol, please give them some space. #BeDistanceAware
