Keeping everyone out of the ‘dark’

On Monday 13th February the whole staff team at Norfolk Industries had Visual Awareness training to enable us to understand a little more what it is like to have a range of visual conditions.

We tried on several pairs of goggles designed to demonstrate what the range of conditions ‘looked’ and felt like and then tried to walk through the factory (with an aide of course) to show how this impacts on your mobility, confidence and general awareness of the environment around you.

This was very enlightening indeed, and then we heard from a colleague how Visual Impairment affected his everyday life and how he did things differently to compensate.  A great session of training had by all and certainly wasn’t death by Powerpoint!!
