Education policy and campaigning

At Thomas Pocklington Trust we are passionate about ensuring blind and partially sighted students have access to further and higher education.

We work with sector partners to lobby Government, decision makers, and bodies with responsibility for post 16 education to ensure that the needs and rights of blind and partially sighted students are recognised.
