Many of the 26,000+ children and young people in England with a vision impairment are not getting the support they need. That's why our Campaigns team were delighted to be at the House of Commons yesterday for the in-person launch of the Eye Care Support Pathway for Children & Young People. Developed with the expertise of more than 20 organisations across the sector, the pathway gives families and professionals a clear, consistent framework to ensure every child with a vision impairment receives the right support at every stage of their journey. The event was a brilliant opportunity to thank all our partners who helped bring this resource to life, and to explore how we can work together to make sure it reaches every family who needs it. 💛 A huge thank you to everyone who attended, everyone who contributed, and everyone who will use this pathway to support children and young people in the years ahead. This resource has the potential to make a life-changing difference.
