Visual Needs Team (Sefton Council)

The Visual Needs Team facilitates the inclusion and academic progress of children and young people with a clinical diagnosis of visual impairment. This is achieved through direct teaching and support to schools, settings and parents.

The team receives referrals from the Ophthalmology departments at Alder Hey and Southport Hospitals, schools, parents and carers and other agencies. Consent is then sought from parent/carer before support can commence.
