Help for children and young people

Discovering your child has a visual impairment can be a difficult and emotional experience. We are here to support you and your family by providing advice, information and practical support when you need it most.

Our range of services supports you every step of the way, from initial diagnosis through the journey into adulthood, helping your child to reach their full potential and live the life they want to lead.

Good News! Take a look at our Children and Young People website - whether you are a young person, parent or carer, or a professional, we have a section of the site to suit your needs — events for young people, information, support and advice, it’s all here. 

There is also information available about our new ‘Children’s Eye Health Programme’ and how your school can get involved to help promote avoidable sight loss from an early age.
