Highlighting inadequate service support for blind and partially sighted people in Scotland

Guide Dogs has launched a campaign in Scotland, highlighting to MSPs why many blind and partially sighted people are let down by lack of appropriate services.

Hosted for Guide Dogs by Robert Brown MSP, a reception at the Scottish Parliament (Wed, 11 June) explained why blind and partially sighted people should be entitled to services which offer opportunities for greater well-being and independence. The charity wants people with sight loss to have greater participation in a more inclusive society.

Jane Horsburgh, Guide Dogs Public Policy Manager for Scotland said: "Future services should be based on a ?middle step? model, incorporating timely information and provision of emotional support; an ?outcomes-based? assessment during which the individual identifies their own personal goals; and services that are user led."
