Guide Dogs NI offers free Community Sighted Guide Training to help organisations build confidence and skills in supporting people with sight loss through safe guiding techniques and effective communication. For organisations operating within Northern Ireland’s public procurement landscape, where Social Value is a key requirement, this training provides a meaningful way to demonstrate inclusion, accessibility, and community impact. By equipping staff with practical skills that improve customer experience and promote independence, organisations can clearly evidence their commitment to equality and social responsibility while enhancing the quality and inclusivity of their services. The training is free and can be offered virtually or face-to-face. |
