AUTISM HOUR
23 Jul 2018
The Herefordshire branch of the National Autistic Society has invited us to spread the happy news that on Saturdays all Morrisons stores (439 around the UK) are having a quiet hour for shoppers with autism. Between 9 and 10 am there will be no cages on the shop floor, no stock to be worked, no music to be played and no tannoy announcements. The lights will be dimmed and all scanners will be switched to “silent” on checkouts and self-scan machines.
There will be signs in the stores during the quiet hour, telling all customers about the initiative and explaining that the aim is to provide a calm environment for shoppers.
ACSYL is delighted to see more and more organisations making reasonable adjustments to accommodate people on the autism spectrum.
