Bus and coach driver vision awareness films
Watch our short films to learn how bus and coach drivers can best support blind and partially sighted passengers. We have included these films in our bus and coach driver ‘Vision Impairment Awareness for Bus Drivers’ materials.
Sight Loss Councils and Thomas Pocklington Trust (TPT) created our full set of training materials and films in partnership with Brighton and Hove Buses. The full training package is approved by the Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT) and approved by the Driver Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) for its Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) for bus and coach drivers across the UK.
