Development of Standards for rehabilitation work

These standards are likely to form the basis of a new degree course for rehabilitation workers with blind and partially sighted individuals.

They have identified the first draft of unit and element titles for the standards and are presently putting together the initial draft of the performance and knowledge. This work will be complete by mid May when they will be consulting on its content.

Can you help?

Your input into the consultation is invaluable as it is only from your feedback that they can ensure that the standards meet the needs of rehabilitation workers, their employers and of individuals who are blind and partially sighted who require rehabilitation services to enable them to meet their needs, abilities and aspirations for independent living.
