This series of short guides is aimed at those working in education who are non-specialists in the field of vision impairment (VI). There are guides for teachers, for support staff working with students with VI and for those in schools responsible for monitoring provision and planning around statutory and non-statutory documentation that reflect the needs of children and young people with VI.

The guides are designed to support understanding of the vital impact of joint working between specialists and non-specialists in the education of children and young people with vision impairment. These are nation specific Accessible PDFs for printing or sharing as electronic files.
