Sunflower Hidden Disabilities

We Are a Sunflower Friendly Centre

Ed.Square Town Centre is committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all our visitors. We are proud to be recognised as a Sunflower Friendly shopping centre, supporting individuals with hidden disabilities to shop with confidence.

What is the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower?

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a simple yet effective way for people with non-visible disabilities to discreetly indicate that they may need extra support, understanding, or a little more time. By wearing a Sunflower lanyard or pin, customers can signal to our staff that they might require assistance, helping us create a more accommodating environment for everyone.

How It Works

1. Pick Up – Customers can collect a free Sunflower lanyard or pin from Centre Management without needing to provide proof of disability.
2. Signal – Wearing the Sunflower lets our trained staff know that the person may need additional support.
3. Support – Our team members, identifiable by their white Sunflower pins, are here to assist with any needs, such as guiding you to quieter spaces or providing sensory-friendly experiences.

Where to Find Support

• Centre Management: Our office is located on Level 1, opposite Anytime Fitness and is open Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Feel free to visit us to collect a Sunflower lanyard or pin.
• Sensory Map: To enhance your shopping experience, we offer a sensory map highlighting sensory-friendly zones within our centre. You can access the sensory map here.
• Staff Assistance: Look for staff members wearing white Sunflower pins—they have completed Sunflower training and are available to assist you.
