This Mini Visual Impairment Awareness Training (VIAT), delivered by Henshaws, is a practical and engaging training session, aimed at helping people understand the barriers faced by people with a visual impairment. Over 2 million people in the UK are currently living with sight loss, which is expected to rise by 2.9 million by 2030; making visual impairment awareness more important than ever before. Would you or your staff know how to interact with a visually impaired customer?

This Mini VIAT is suitable for staff and volunteers and will cover:
•    Key sight loss facts, tips and guidance
•    Challenging visual impairment stereotypes and misconceptions
•    Experiencing what it is like to be visually impaired using our sight loss simulation glasses
•    Practical tasks 
•    Learning how to respectfully and safely guide someone with a visual impairment.

VIAT can benefit you by:

  • Enabling you to understand sight loss, and the experiences faced by visually impaired people everyday
  • Attracting new customers
  • Improved customer experience and higher quality service
  • Setting your organisation apart and giving you a unique selling point
  • Demonstrated Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
