Our Education Information Advice and Guidance Service is here for blind and partially sighted students aged 7+, their families and the professionals that support them. We provide expert information, advice and guidance supporting students to navigate primary, secondary school, college and university.
We are an England based service but can offer general advice and signposting to people from other parts of the United Kingdom.
We hope you can find most of the information you are looking for on our dedicated secondary school, college and university pages, but if you can’t or need more bespoke information, we can provide one-to-one information and support via our advice service.
“I was not getting the right support at university. Without TPT intervening I do not think it would have been resolved. Thank you!”, a student who contacted our service.

Our service is open Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm., with our phone line available 10am – 5pm.
