We offer a programme of short courses, conferences and accreditation for children's services professionals, which cover a wide range of themes including visual conditions, curriculum access, and social inclusion.
Our short courses and conferences are delivered by known experts in their respective fields. They cover a range of key themes to which we believe people working in the field should have access to and are available at a number of locations in order to maximise their accessibility.

Partners in Learning accredited course for teaching assistants

Our new Partners in Learning is a modular course developed between RNIB and the Open University, using a blended learning approach of face-to-face training with online study and discussion activities. The course is designed to increase your understanding of visual impairment and its impact on learning. It encourages you to identify key factors in effective support and to reflect on how to promote these in the educational context in which you work.
