Hi All
Thought the below might be useful especially if you have any blind and partially sighted young people coming onto case-loads for October's intake...
"RNIB has launched a new web resource for young people thinking about, or already at university. Our new ‘Starting University’ web pages have been co-produced by and for young people, offering advice and guidance on all stages of transition from choosing a university and negotiating support to accessing funding and study advice.
The content of this section has been influenced by findings from the Longitudinal Transitions Study being carried out by researchers from the Visual Impairment Centre for Teaching and Research at University of Birmingham, with support from RNIB and funding from DfE/NatSIP and the Nuffield Foundation. The guidance is based on the experiences of 30 blind and partially sighted young people who have made the transition into higher education".
