The guide has been produced by the Vision Impairment Centre for Teaching and Research (VICTAR), University of Birmingham with support from the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB), TPT and the National Sensory Impairment Partnership (NatSIP).
The content (including illustrative case studies) has been informed by the research evidence based on the experiences of students with vision impairment in 25 different HE UK institutions. It covers several topics, including moving into higher education, supporting students, inclusive practice and reasonable adjustments, so you can support blind and partially sighted students during their time in higher education.
