Assistance Dogs
The University of Liverpool welcomes delegates with assistance dogs. If you wish to bring an assistance dog onto campus, on the grounds of health and safety responsibilities to staff, students and visitors, the University will require evidence that a dog is formally registered with one of the assistance dog charities (e.g. hearing dogs for deaf people, guide dogs for the blind) including appropriate accreditation.
