Beacon Centre for the Blind is here to help you 

Our training is designed for you. We can train at your premises or at our Centre and we can add components specific to your needs. These may include:

  •  daily living requirements
  •  specific customer requirements

We have highly experienced trainers delivering the training. Our Outreach Support Manager has 27 years experience of delivering services to people with sight loss and in delivering blind awareness training. 

 

What is Blind Awareness Training?

While giving a good introduction to sight loss, each training programme is tailored to the needs of the client. Typically a programme will cover the following:

  • The implication of sight loss, what it means in practical terms
  • The effects of different eye conditions
  • Guiding skills: participants learn to guide and be guided in real situations including crowds, up and down steps, through corridors
  • Equipment and services
  • available for visually impaired people
  • How to help people with guide dogs
  • How to help people with canes
