 Aiming higher for children and young people:

In particular:

• To work together to promote equality, inclusion and diversity, both in terms of access to youth work services in England, and in relation to the role that youth work services can play in proactively challenging discriminatory attitudes and behaviours within society.

What is the training about?

This is a free interactive, online, three-hour training course, where you will gain the knowledge and confidence to be able to include blind and partially sighted children and young people into your provision. This includes local youth clubs, activities, sports sessions or anything else that welcomes children and young people to your provision.

What will I learn?

You will learn about common eye conditions and their impact on the individual, as well as myth-busting around sight loss. You will learn key guidance around how to make your clubs, activities and sessions VI (vision impaired) friendly.

There will be an opportunity to gain practical understanding of adapting virtual and physical activities to make them inclusive to children and young people with sight loss.

The Qualification:

Participation in the Capacity Building Training will enable you to access the opportunity for a formal accredited qualification in Youth Work and working with VI Young People.

Is the training for me?
