Accessibility for children and young people with a vision impairment

Too often, a child with a vision impairment won’t have the same chances and opportunities as their sighted friends. That’s why, in partnership with the National Sensory Impairment Partnership (NatSIP), we have produced Reasonable Adjustments in Schools guidance.

This is designed to help teachers, schools and local authorities ensure that the 41,000 children and young people with vision impairment across the UK have access to better support throughout their education. The guidance details how and when to put in place reasonable adjustments for children and young people with a vision impairment, and includes a helpful checklist of potential adjustments to consider.
