Order Your PA ID Badge Here
Personal Assistants Network Scotland will now be the Scottish Government approved membership organisation for Self-Directed Support Personal Assistants throughout Scotland and we hope that having a recognised ID Badge will be the first of many benefits to being a member.
To order your badge simply visit this page and complete the application process which includes uploading a good quality passport style (head and shoulders) photograph. Your picture can easily be taken and uploaded by applying using a smart phone. The application process is secure and fully GDPR compliant.
The ID badges will come with a badge holder, PA Network Scotland lanyard and will be posted to PAs by secure registered post. As a special offer and until further notice the badges will be issued free of charge, we may have to introduce a cost at some point in the future so get yours now.
Please note – If you order an ID badge after the 22nd December it will not be sent out until we return from the Christmas break on the 3rd January
