The Children Act 1989: what does it mean for visually impaired children?

The Government's (OPCS) survey of the disabled population (Bone and Meltzer, 1989) suggested that there are 21,000 severely visually impaired children in Britain.

This article seeks to highlight the main principles underlying the Children Act, and to explore some of the implications of the Act for people working with visually impaired children and their families.
