AnnotationThe number of visually impaired people known to services in Scotland has trebled in the last 20 years; but estimates suggest that the real level of visual impairment is more than double again. The present report ranges over the whole spectrum of special support for visually impaired people in Scotland. The aim is to show how organisations have responded to their needs, the level of interplay between related services, gaps and opportunities for service development, and scope for a Scotland-wide view of the future evolution of support. The emphasis is on measuring whether real progress is being made in meeting need, and identifying action required in the future. Appendices provide details of agencies and organisations offering support, complemented by statistical data, which RNIB Scotland will seek to update periodically. (RH).
