CFVI Case studies
As part of our UK wide campaign, Unlocking Education for all, our partner organisations have captured five case study videos featuring blind or partially sighted children and young people.
On this page
Thomas Pocklington Trust and the University of Birmingham have embedded the CFVI into national policy. Each short film tells the young person’s story in their own words and demonstrates the difference the CFVI could make to children and young people in the future.
Please check the guidelines for using and sharing our CFVI case study videos before sharing.
