The session will provide an introductory understanding of some common eye conditions and their impact on the individual as well as myth-busting around sight loss. Key guidance around how to make your clubs, activities and sessions VI friendly will be provided, and there will be an opportunity to gain practical understanding of adapting virtual and physical activities to make them inclusive to children and young people with sight loss.

The session will also welcome questions from participants.
