Lifeline presented by Michael Caul
\nMick talks to Claire Shorten<\/strong> and Celeste Stenson<\/strong> and NCBI representative about visually impaired.<\/p>\n

Vision, Mission and Values of the NCBI<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n

For people who are blind and vision-impaired to have the same opportunities, rights and choices as others to fully participate in society.
\n
\nMission<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

To enable people who are blind and vision impaired to overcome the barriers that impede their independence and participation in society.<\/p>\n

Values<\/strong><\/p>\n

NCBI\u2019s core values give effect to our vision and permeate our mission and inform all of our actions to ensure that we achieve the highest standards in everything we do.<\/p>\n

Inclusive Approach<\/strong>
\nNCBI listens to people who use our services, staff members, volunteers and all other stakeholders and collaborates with them in the design and delivery of our services and all related activities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Choice<\/strong>
\nNCBI acknowledges and respects the right of people to make choices about their lives. We will do everything in our power to support people who are blind and vision impaired in exercising this right.
\n
\nOpenness and Accountability<\/strong>
\nNCBI carries out its work in an open manner and is accountable to all stakeholders for our actions and decisions.<\/p>\n

Pursuit of Excellence<\/strong>
\nNCBI is committed to attaining excellence in everything we do through our policies, procedures and staff.<\/p>\n

Sighted guide<\/strong>
\nWhen a person who is vision impaired requires assistance from a sighted person to move from one place to another, a popular method is the \u2018sighted guide\u2019 technique. Using this approach, the person with impaired vision holds on to the sighted person\u2019s arm as they walk along. It is important for the sighted person to lead by walking slightly ahead. Different people will have their own preferences about how they like to be guided. This leaflet suggests some guidelines that can be helpful, but it is always best to ask individuals which method they are most comfortable with.<\/p>\n
