An England blind international football star hosted a special workshop to support visually impaired children and young people in Liverpool last month. Roy Turnham delivered the “Become Visually Impaired (VI) Activated” workshop in partnership with Liverpool City Council’s Sensory Service and British Blind Sport, to equip teachers in the city with the skills and strategies to support children and young people who are visually impaired and deliver more inclusive sports in school. School staff from across the city explored hands on tools, simple activity tweaks, and fresh lesson ideas they can put into practice straight away. Cllr Joanne Kennedy, Cabinet member for Employment, Educational Attainment and Skills, said: “We’re proud to be working alongside British Blind Sport to build awareness of the of the barriers and opportunities in PE within our schools. We’re extremely grateful to the team for their openness and for making the day such an enjoyable workshop to deliver.”
