S2 Ep494: Supporting Blind & Partially Sighted People With Learning Disabilities

There are over 1 million adults with a learning disability in the UK and it is estimated that 1 in 10 adults with a learning disability will be blind or partially sighted. 

Sight loss charity RNIB and the CareTech Charitable Foundation worked together to design and roll out a unique package of training to care sector staff supporting people with Learning Disabilities.

Our Paulina Kuchorew spoke with Iain Kennedy from RNIB's Health and Social Care Team to find out more about the partnership.
