    A scheme, which is supported by charities, has been introduced where a lanyard lets others know that you have hidden disabilities. This was first introduced by Gatwick airport in 2016 and since has been getting more awareness. This will be useful to get priority on lifts, disability doors or awareness of support plans to lecturers (May arrive late, leave in lectures or need support when contributing in seminars)
