Yet too many partnerships are still being turned away from places they have a legal right to enter. Access refusals, public misunderstanding, and a lack of clear legal definitions create daily barriers for people who shouldn’t have to fight simply to get through the door.
ADUK exists to change this. As the umbrella body for the UK’s leading accredited assistance dog organisations, we champion high standards of training and welfare – but our ambitions go beyond our membership. We believe that raising standards across the whole assistance dog sector, for every partnership whatever their training route, is the most powerful route to
breaking down barriers and securing the access rights that every assistance dog partnership is entitled to.
