How we can help

RNIB Scotland provide a range of services for people with sight problems, including:

Access consultancy services - RNIB Access Consultancy Services help improve access to buildings, streets, transport, signage, tactile images and maps, way-finding, products, websites and information.

Benefits helpline - The RNIB Scotland Welfare Rights service can give you information and advice on claiming benefits, registering as blind or partially sighted, and local support groups and services.

Education and Family Services - RNIB Scotland's Education and Family Services works with children and their families from the point of diagnosis, on through the young person's school, college and university education. They also support the Haggeye youth forum.

Employment - We support blind and partially sighted people to find work, and employers to recruit people with sight loss.

Self Directed Support - Instead of your local social work department providing or arranging services for you, Self Directed Support allows you to arrange services for yourself, choosing what to buy and how much to spend. It puts you in control.

Social work - RNIB Scotland provides a range of social work and other support services, both statutory and voluntary, for blind and partially sighted people.

Transcription - RNIB Scotland Transcription Centre can provide information in the accessible formats including audio - cassette, CD, DAISY, braille, Moon, large print and tactile diagrams.
