In June 2016, NatSIP published the Quality Standards for Sensory Support Services document.

The document drew from the Ofsted framework for inspecting education establishmentsm and, in particular, the Ofsted/CQC framework for consultation, for inspecting local area arrangements for identifying and meeting the needs of children and young people with SEND.

In 2022, the RNIB published the Curriculum Framework for Children and Young People with Vision Impairment (CFVI).  For more detail on the CFVI, please see the RNIB website here.

In response to the CFVI, in August 2023, Appendix 2 was added to the Quality Standards document, showing how the Quality Standards map on to the CFVI and vice versa.

The updated document can be found in the document library.
