VI Organisations call on Welsh Government to '#Unlock Education'

A group of vision impairment (VI) organisations, including RNIB and The Thomas Pocklington Trust, is calling on UK Governments to ensure children and young people with VI have equal access to education and provide the specialist support they need.

The #Unlock Education campaign is calling for the Curriculum Framework for Children and Young People with Vision Impairment (CFVI) to be followed by all education settings. The CFVI , which was launched in 2022, was developed by education professions and sight loss organisations from across the UK, and it defines the specialist skills development and best practice support to promote equity, inclusion and personal agency of children and young people with sight loss.
