in John's absence (I spoke with him this morning). GDBA (Guide Dogs for the
Blind Association) are usually involved with situations like this and their
approach is to sort out who is prepared to do what at the outset. I would
suggest that you contact the GDBA District Team and ask them to come in and
meet with all interested parties.
In my experience, most Guide Dog users will clean up after their own dog
but, I'm sure you will agree, this is not the easiest of tasks if you are
totally blind. In many cases, Site Services have agreed to assist.
District Team contacts can be found at www.gdba.org.uk
Hope this helps

Subject: Re: Gudie dog toilet runs
I attended an RNIB disability adviser's day last week, and they mentioned
this specific example. The student refused to clean the dog run, but the
final decision was that it was their responsibility, as this is something
that is included as part of their training. If you requre further
information about this case i would contact John Maher @ RNIB
Hope this is helpful

Subject: Gudie dog toilet runs
Dear all,
One of our blind students has recently got a guide dog. The toilet run has
been set up on campus but we have a problem identifying who is going to
clear up the mess. Estates are reluctant unless I can come up with a
precedent from another university. So please, is there anyone out there
who's persuaded their Estates Dept to do this?! Any other suggestions
welcomed.
Thanks,
Sue
