TRAINING WITH
Hi-VisUK

Hi-VisUK provides learning opportunities for anyone working with, caring for or providing a service to people with dual sensory impairment (DSI). Our training also gives learners insights into single sensory impairments, hearing loss and sight loss, as well deafblindness.

We offer both OCN accredited and non accredited courses, as well as courses certificated for CPD records.

We can offer a variety of delivery methods to suit your personal or organisational needs.  Choose from face to face tutor led delivery, either as on-site “closed” courses exclusively for your organisation’s people or as “open” courses where you can send one or two workers along to a designated training venue, or tutor led online courses via Teams.

Many of our courses are in partnership with SCIE.

Online Learning with Hi-VisUK

We have launched the unique Hi-VisUK DSI online learning platform. Our online courses offer you flexible distance learning about DSI when and where it suits you.

The flexible learning content is packed with practical information including colourful video simulations to help you understand the impact of major eye conditions, audio simulations to help you understand the impact of major hearing conditions, short quizzes to help you check your progress, tips on communication, and the Hi-VisUK identification toolkit.

Our training really works! Don’t just take our word for it….

“It is also noted that almost 40% of respondents reported finding the training useful in their personal lives with family, friends or neighbours who are deafblind. This indicates added value to the training increasing the numbers of deafblind people being supported either informally or formally in a work setting.”

“Much of this equipment (to support an older deafblind person) is small scale, inexpensive and practical yet deafblind people appear to have little awareness of the availability of such equipment. The training has raised awareness of carers, support staff and others, with the result that deafblind people are beginning to benefit from the use of such equipment. This finding is now being confirmed by deafblind people.”

“…there are also early indications that the knowledge/experience and changing practices not only improve services and support but could ultimately create cost savings/save money…respondents reported that their organisation had been able to save money as a result of the knowledge gained in the training.”

“A large majority of respondents who have completed one or more of the training courses report positively as to the design, quality and content of the training. Respondents also report that the training has improved not only their knowledge and understanding but also their confidence in working with and supporting deafblind people. This increase in confidence appears to be pivotal in how they do this.”

“The content was great.  It was clear that you are absolutely the experts in this area and I enjoyed hearing the direct experience of your colleagues”

Growing Together.

Hi-VisUK is a charity which truly believes “together is better, together is stronger”.

What this means simply is that we are about building the capacity, confidence and resilience of others – the individual person with acquired dual sensory impairment, their families and carers, the organisations that support or provide care services to them, the local authorities and health services who are bound by law to look after them – our people.
