Professionals

There are two million people with sight problems in the UK. RNIB provides information for professionals who can make a difference to the lives of blind and partially sighted people.

We offer training, consultancy services and practical online support for professionals in the following areas:


Health and social care


We work closely with planners, commissioners, managers and providers of social care to promote best practice and improve the quality of services throughout the UK. We encourage local authorities to provide integrated care and empower service users to lobby for improvements where services fall short.

Education


Having a sight problem shouldn't be a barrier to learning. We work to ensure that blind and partially sighted children and adults gain get the best out of school and college.

Accessible and inclusive design

An inclusive approach to design is both practical and achievable. Accessibility does not just affect people with disabilities, it has enormous benefits and rewards for everyone. Our consultancy services are geared towards improving accessibility for all.
