combined Membership and 'Can't Wait' Card, which is renewed annually.
The card carries the message 'Please help - our member has a medical
condition which means they need to use your toilet facilities urgently.
Your kindness and cooperation would be much appreciated'. The card
is intended to support you in the event that you need to ask to use the
staff toilet facilities in a shop, garage etc in an emergency. The card
does not guarantee that you will be allowed to use these facilities as
companies are not willing to give such a commitment, but it may confirm
that you have a genuine and urgent need. NACC encourages companies to
allow access to toilets as part of a good 'customer care' policy and
from time to time publicises the Can't Wait Card scheme to make
retailers and staff aware of the need.
