Training for professionals

Join our free Making your activities inclusive training (formerly Capacity building training) to find out how you can ensure your youth club, sports sessions and other activities are inclusive and welcoming to blind and partially sighted children and young people.

Free, interactive and online, this three-hour course will help you gain the practical knowledge and confidence you need to be able to include them in your services, whether they’re held in person or virtually.

Working together, we can promote equality, inclusion and diversity, in terms of access to youth work services in England and in relation to the role that they can play in proactively challenging discriminatory attitudes and behaviours within society. Through this training, we’re building on a commitment to support and develop the youth work profession with a career structure offering progression.

Aiming higher for children and young people

This training is a free interactive, online, three-hour course, where you’ll gain the practical knowledge and confidence to be able to include blind and partially sighted children and young people in your services, whether in-person or virtually. This includes local youth clubs, activities, sports sessions, and anything else which welcomes children and young people to your provision.

We’d like to work together with you to promote equality, inclusion and diversity, both in terms of access to youth work services and in relation to the role that youth work services can play in proactively challenging discriminatory attitudes and behaviours within society.

We’re building on a commitment to support and develop the youth work profession with a career structure offering progression.

You’ll learn about common eye conditions, and their impact on the individual. You’ll also receive key guidance relating to how to make your clubs, activities and sessions inclusive for young people with vision impairment.

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

The qualification:

In England, 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.

This course is for anyone delivering services for children and young people. You might be a youth worker, volunteer, a young person, or anyone with a role working directly with children and young people.

If you are a volunteer or have limited time, we also offer free video training to accomodate your availability. The video training provides the essential information to start making your activities more inclusive and offers a good foundation for building an inclusive plan. You can find out more and sign-up for the video training here.
