Online Training: Starting the Conversation

Launching Soon, free training to help you better engage with blind and partially sighted students!

At Thomas Pocklington Trust, we empower professionals to break down barriers faced by blind and partially sighted (BPS) students.

With vision impairment being a low-incidence disability, many professionals have little or no experience working with BPS students. You might wonder how best to support them or make your practices truly accessible and inclusive.

That’s where we come in.

Our team brings the knowledge, skills and lived experience to deliver high-quality training that equips you to provide exceptional inclusive support.
