Student Transitions

We are thrilled to continue our transitions programme, STEP. This programme is designed to equip blind and partially sighted students with the tools and confidence to navigate key educational transitions.

Whether you’re in secondary school preparing to move into college/sixth form or currently in college/sixth form planning your transition to university, STEP provides you with the information, advice and support you need to succeed at this crucial time.

The programme covers overarching themes and includes tailored sessions around a variety of different topics. With a blend of online and in-person events, we’re here to support you every STEP of the way!

This year, our theme is socialising #SocialEyes and we’ve crafted a diverse range of events to help you build connections and thrive socially.
