Penalty Notice for not wearing a mask

[stu007]

Hi

 

Here are a couple of links on the legislation side:

 

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/791/part/3/made

 

https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/coronavirus-health-protection-coronavirus-wearing-face-coverings-relevant-place

 

To assist with this you will need to show your reasoning for wearing that exemption badge and as you describe in your initial post you thought your were exempt and followed Government Guidance as per there own website as it states at the following link:

 

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/face-coverings-when-to-wear-one-and-how-to-make-your-own/face-coverings-when-to-wear-one-and-how-to-make-your-own

(Note: you need to go down to Exemption Cards and read it you will see a link for 'download exemption card templates')

 

When you click the link it takes you here:

(Note: It gives anyone access to download these Templates and use them)

 

I think it may be beneficial to speak to your GP to see if they would do a letter that due to your medical conditions you can't wear a face mask. (bear in mind for letters such as these GP Surgery may charge so make sure and ask if a cost involved)
