Family Support Service

The Family Support service of the National Blind Childrens Society does just what the name implies; supports families with children who are visually impaired.

For parents and carers we provide:

Information relating to your child's eye condition, in parent-friendly, easily understood format. We provide information and contact details for national specific eye condition groups, who may provide more specialist information and may be able to link you to other families who have children with the same eye condition
A listening service where parents can talk in confidence about their concerns and receive ongoing support
Advice regarding claiming benefits
Practical support and advice on any issue concerning life with a child with a visual impairment
