Awareness of danger from traffic

If the person who needs a Blue Badge has been diagnosed with a mental health, cognitive or behavioural condition which means they lack awareness of danger from traffic, which is likely to compromise their safety or the safety of others, they may be eligible for a Blue Badge.

You should complete the risk in traffic application form (PDF, 1.65MB). Their eligibility will need to be assessed by their local authority. The assessment may involve getting further information from healthcare professionals.

If this does not apply to the person who needs a Blue Badge, they are unlikely to meet the qualifying criteria to get a Blue Badge. Their local authority may be able to provide information about other services and support available to help with their mobility.
