Abstract

There is increasing evidence to show that the circumstances of people with visual impairment in the UK have worsened in recent years and that statutory services are increasingly under pressure. As a voluntary sector provider, changes in the visual impairment sector and in the provision of health and social care meant that an assessment of a new model of service delivery needed to be investigated. This article reviews the changing landscape of service provision for people with sight loss, outlines the findings of current research into the needs of our client group and discusses the implications of these findings, which ultimately led to a new model of service delivery—Henshaws Pathway to Independence.
