Key Documents

This project is focused on seeing changes in policy relevant to children with mild and moderate vision impairment.

The See Here team, with the help of stakeholders, has produced two key documents which were released in July 2008. These documents have developed to present the evidence for a review of policies relevant to children with mild and moderate vision impairment.

The evidence-based case is a relatively long and detailed document, which may not be of interest to all readers, so See Here has also produced a summary booklet for much wider distribution. These documents are available in two formats, a PDF version and a Microsoft Word version which is designed for those with screen readers in mind.
