About the Service
The SCVI will help promote a culture where pupils with a vision impairment are included in all aspects of school life and are given equal educational opportunities to realise their highest potential.
It is essential to seek expert advice for any child thought to be suffering from a vision impairment as a specialist teacher for the visually impaired can help confirm and assess the child’s vision and provide the support and advice necessary to minimise the effect of the impairment. It is important that any that any relevant information must be made available to class teachers and should follow the child when changes of school or class are made.
The SCVI operates an ‘open referral’ system whereby any agency can request advice or support.
