Dear Trevor
Thank you for your email.
I have contacted our Business Support Team to clarify the policy, as I believe it has not changed.
They confirm our policy is; while helmets can act as a disguise it is their use, however infrequently, in crime which means we ask that they be removed so as to avoid the potential for alarm. It may appear to be inconsistent that we do not ask someone wearing a veil to take it off, but we wish to show sensitivity to the faith and culture of the individual concerned. We recognise it can be an inconvenience to remove a crash helmet but believe it will not result in the distress which might arise for a lady obliged to remove her veil in public.
Therefore, we think our current approach is inclusive strikes the right balance between respect for a different tradition and other considerations. Where a customer has covered their face, except for religious or cultural reasons, they should be asked politely and respectfully to remove the covering.
I hope this now answers your question.
I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
Kind regards
Claire Jenkins
