On Monday Dublin City’s Lord Mayor, Caroline Conroy, has announced that Dublin City Council is committed to become a JAM Card friendly local authority.
JAM Card allows people with a hidden disability or communication barrier to tell others they need just a minute of time and patience in a simple and discreet way.
Lord Mayor Caroline Conroy has said, “Dublin City Council has committed to becoming a JAM Card friendly local authority to send out a clear message of inclusion, access and quality customer service. We hope that our commitment will serve as a catalyst for others to join with us to create a JAM Card friendly City” .
The JAM Card is useful when in a customer facing environments at Dublin City Council. This include reception desks at council buildings, libraries, Leisure Centres and on Dublin City public transport.
Dublin City Council will be providing JAM Cards at the reception desk in the Civic Offices and across Dublin City libraries and Area Offices. These cards will be available early in 2023. Dublin City Council’s frontline staff will wear pin badges or lanyards to indicate to JAM Card users and app users that they have been JAM Card trained.
