Starting Point: a guide for parents whose child has a vision impairment

 

"We wanted a map of the next few years. We really wanted to know what do we do next?" 

A new online resource for parents has been launched. Starting Point: a guide for parents whose child has a vision impairment is the result of a collaboration between NBCS, RNIB, Guide Dogs, Sense, Action for Blind People, and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust. 

The website and accompanying leaflet have been developed in response to parents' priorities, building on research with parents who helped us shape Starting Point. As one parent said: "We wanted a map of the next few years. We really wanted to know what do we do next?" 

The leaflet introduces parents to the help and support they may need as a parent of a child with a vision impairment and the website gives more in-depth information.
