About

Orkney Islands Council awarded a contract to Orkney Physiotherapy for the provision of Independent Mobility Assessor services, specifically the final stage of Blue Badge assessments.

The assessment builds on Council Occupational Therapy (OT) staff; where OT staff cannot decide on eligibility under the 'unable to walk' or 'virtually unable to walk' permanent and temporary criteria, they pass the application to an Independent Mobility Assessor.

An Independent Mobility Assessor is defined in legislation as a person recognised by the local authority as holding a professional qualification involving training in the assessment of a person's ability to walk, and having the expertise necessary to assess on behalf of the local authority the ability of the applicant to walk.

The contract value is £48.
