The duration of this contract is from 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2024, with two potential one-year extensions. The Service shall offer support to individuals who have a range of issues relating to sensory impairment ("Supported People") and it shall also extend to the families and/or carers of Supported People. The Service shall also seek to raise public awareness around issues relating to sensory loss, train and educate professionals, as well as influence planning decisions to improve accessibility.
