Disability Awareness Training

Help yourself to help others

Anyone who meets members of the public, during their work, is advised to gain an understanding of how to relate to people with disabilities.

According to the Disability Discrimination Act which is now being enforced, employers and their staff have a duty to provide an equal standard of service to all their clients and customers.

Sight impaired people do have special needs when they are in unfamiliar surroundings so it is important that you know how to approach them and how to give them assistance, if required.

An easy way to help you fulfil your statutory obligations is to attend one of our “visual impairment awareness” training sessions. We recommend that this is associated with general disability awareness training.

EYE OPENER offers half-day training courses which give you the opportunity to become familiar with the correct way to help someone who has problems due to sight loss.

A certificate will be awarded, on completion of the course.
