Special Considerations for Educational and Care Settings

Professional Collaboration

When working with occupational therapists, VI advisors, and other professionals, we ensure appropriate information sharing agreements are in place to protect all parties' professional and ethical obligations.

We regularly review and update our practices to ensure continued compliance with UK data protection law and best practice in accessibility services.
