My second question was about the sale of clothing with words on it. I would be interested to hear about that. Am I right in saying that people are free to sell clothing that has "assistance dog" printed on it? Such clothing could be put on any dog? That would contaminate, for want of a better word, people who have their dogs trained to such a high standard. Is this why we are experiencing difficulties with access to places such as public parks?

Are there any guidelines around assistance dogs being given access to schools?
