Description: With the implementation of the 2018 Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (ALNET) Act and Code underway, RNIB was prompted to request information on the structure, organisation and funding of the 22 Local Authority Vision Impairment Services, their current caseloads, habilitation services, and understanding of the new Curriculum Framework for Children and Young People with Vision Impairment (CFVI). This is to examine to what extent children and young people with vision impairment in Wales are currently receiving the level and type of support they need to develop their independence, access education and realise their potential.
