Can I ask for advice with regards to assistance dogs in large shared accommodation.  To be clear we are not declining but undertaking our duty of care to the other 200 residents in the same premises as many have other forms disabilities,  We obviously have some concerns as the assisted dog is arriving with the resident from a country abroad into a high rise premises with no outdoor space, small studio and shared facilities with 6 other residents within this flat.  We have spoken to many organisations for advice but very few are prepared to offer advice.  All relevant information has been requested i.e. insurances, risk assessments - having spoken to Assistance Dogs UK - before placing an assistance dog thorough checks are undertaken, visits made etc., however, there is no overaching body/guidance around this issue at present.  Has anyone else experienced similar?
