The Department for Transport issues non-statutory guidance to local authorities to help them administer the Blue Badge scheme. Each individual local authority is responsible for choosing an assessment approach that best supports their Blue Badge decision making process.

The Blue Badge Digital Service helps local authorities to administer the scheme. The Department works closely with the supplier of the service to identify ways to improve the application and re-application process for all users as part of its National Disability Strategy commitments. This includes acting on feedback from local authority administrators and citizen users of the scheme.
