FAQs

We regret that we are not taking any new applications at the moment. Our office is overwhelmed and we’re finding it difficult to process the huge number of enquiries.

We only offer training to clients, resident in England or Wales, with a diagnosed disability as a result of a long-term mental health condition or being on the autism spectrum. The definition of a disability, under the Equality Act 2010, is that you have a physical or mental impairment that has a ‘substantial’ and ‘long-term’ negative effect on your ability to do normal daily activities.

Clients need to be over 15 years of age.

We do not provide dogs, we train a client’s own dog.

We accept dogs from puppies up to the age of 3 years.

We currently only operate in England and Wales.

We do not have a training centre, we pair each client with a suitable local trainer.  The initial training will be in and around the client’s home and local area because that is where the dog and client are most comfortable.

If you still need to contact us you can send an email to enquiries@darwins.org.uk although it may take us a while to reply.
