Interview with a visually impaired woman

Acorn Recruitment in Sevenoaks are proud to support the Royal London Society for the Blind (RLSB) who are based locally at Dorton House. Mel Coleman from the RLSB came along to broadly discuss visual impairment within the workplace and rounded it off with a fun jam sandwich making competition. Joined with two clients from Kit For Kids Ltd, three teams of two people hopelessly made a mess but had fun in the process. Involved is Rhiannon Winn (purple) instructed by Margaret Sarjeant (black top); Geoff Newman (green t-shirt) instructed by Lindsay Castling (checkered black and white top) from Kit for Kids; and Jeff Wheeler (blue shirt) instructed by Margaret Saunders (purple shirt) from Kit for Kids.

At least one in three people with a learning difficulty will also have serious sight loss. We believe the figure may be significantly higher. Over the last ten years RNIB has assessed the vision of more than 500 people with learning disabilities. We found approximately 80 per cent had some degree of sight loss. Often this sight loss had previously gone undetected. Our aim is to identify sight loss and create opportunity by increasing awareness of: * the prevalence of under-detection of sight loss * the consequences for people with a learning disability. Visual Impairment and Learning Disability Services (VILD) have a recognised excellence in supporting people with a visual impairment and learning disability. Watch our 4-minute DVD to see how we support people, from their functional vision assessment through to practical rehabilitation support. We also have specialist expertise in providing sight tests for people with a learning disability.
