With nearly 2 million people living with sight loss and 11 million people living with a limiting long term illness, impairment or disability in the UK, we fully understand the need to ensure that all services are made accessible and that general awareness around disability is improved further.
Training
We specialise in Vision Impairment and Disability Awareness training with a range of competitively priced packages that can be further tailored to suit your requirements. Our training is designed for any organisation or business working with members of the public or we can tailor a package for your staff team to ensure that you provide an inclusive workplace for colleagues that have a vision impairment or disability.
Backed up by our extensive all round knowledge and experience, with a few of our personal anecdotes thrown in, our training is interactive, inspiring and thought provoking and is sure to be memorable and worthwhile to your staff, aiding the process in breaking down the barriers to disability.
With a few twists and turns, this training can also make a really interesting alternative option for communication and team building training days, again tailored to meet your organisation’s needs.

Consultancy
We also offer comprehensive consultation services. We can support you regarding accessibility requirements (written and physical), offer guidance with supporting a team member who has a disability and inform you about support that is available including the DWP’s Access to Work scheme and much much more.
Employment
We have experience in supporting disabled people with finding employment. This includes helping with completing application forms, writing CVs and working with individuals on how to best present themselves.
We are excited to be leading Phase 2 of TAVIP’s Inclusive Employment Project, developing a training and mentoring programme to support people with vision impairments into employment. We expect this programme will have an emphasis on supporting people to recognise their existing skills and also to develop their technology skills.
In addition to supporting individuals, we can support employers with ensuring that their recruitment process is accessible including providing advice and guidance on best practises, ensuring the application forms are accessible and much more.
