Awareness training

CamSight training increases understanding of the needs of people living with low vision and blindness and the reality of living with partial or no vision. We can provide informative talks for groups or individuals, as well as bespoke training sessions. 

All training is devised in consultation with you. Through practical exercises and discussion, participants will understand further:

• Living with low vision and blindness
• Various eye conditions and how they can affect people
• Sighted guiding techniques
• How equipment helps people live independently
• How to behave around a working dog
• Support and services available

Please contact us on 01223 420033 or email if you would like us to provide visual awareness training.

Training for businesses and partners 

Our Senior Volunteer Coordinator is able to provide Sighted Guide Training sessions for businesses, helping your staff to understand how best to help guide someone with sight loss. This can be in relation to your internal office environment, or to help you better serve your customers in your store, event space or office - as well as providing life-long transferrable skills outside the workplace. 

Sighted guiding is a valuable skill to have and provides a deeper understanding of what someone would need to do if assisting someone with sight loss. This training will also cover information about different eye conditions and how these can affect people. 

We can also conduct an assessment and suggestions for improvements in relation to people with visual impairments at your premises upon request. If you would like to discuss what we can do for your company, please get in touch via [email protected]
