The Distance Aware shield is a national initiative to enable individuals and organisations to politely prompt ongoing distancing and respect of individual social space.
With the easing of lockdown, many charities across the UK have adopted the shield and adapted it with their own logos so that members of their community (particularly those who are vulnerable or have been shielding) can use it to raise awareness and encourage distancing.
With this in mind, the Foundation has created a personalised Smith-Magenis syndrome shield that our members can now download and print. The shield can be cut out and pinned to clothing, attached to a lanyard, made into a badge or adapted in a way to raise awareness.
