All Party Parliamentary Group on Eye Health and Vision Impairment publishes progress report
One year on from the publication 'Changing Attitudes, Changing Lives', the UK's All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Eye Health and Vision Impairment has published a new report assessing progress on the employment of vision impaired people and setting out priorities for the year ahead, 'One Year On: Progress, Challenges and Next Steps'.
The findings show that too many blind and partially sighted people continue to face avoidable barriers to entering, remaining in and progressing in work. The report highlights ongoing challenges across employment support, employer practices and access to services, and calls for a more coordinated, outcomes-focused approach across Government. With clear recommendations on strengthening Access to Work, improving employer accountability and embedding accessibility by design, the APPG is urging a renewed focus on delivery to ensure that blind and partially sighted people are not left behind.
You can read the report here. For more information about the work of the APPG on Eye Health and Vision Impairment, visit their website.
