Curriculum Framework for Children and Young People with Vision Impairment (CFVI)


We developed the Curriculum Framework for Children and Young People with Vision Impairment (CFVI) through extensive consultation with people working in the field of vision impairment education, parents and young people across the UK to support children and young people with vision impairment. We want all children and young people to access an appropriate and equitable education.
