Visual Impairment Strategy
The Board has worked with local providers and service users/carers over the past year to develop a strategy. It recognises that the provision of services to children/adults with a visual impairment is not exclusively the remit of Health and Social Services. A number of other agencies have relevant responsibilities. The need for partnership working across a range of areas is therefore of vital importance.
Following a series of workshops, the outcome of needs assessment highlighted six key theme areas. The Board has established a Multi-Agency Forum which is made up of 50% user representation to take forward the recommendations.
