THE
ROLE OF EAST SUFFOLK ASSOCIATION FOR THE BLIND COMMUNITY WORKERS
East Suffolk Association for the Blind has 5 part-time Community
Workers (CW) each covering their own area in the East of Suffolk. They
make home visits to help visually impaired people achieve the best
possible independent lifestyle. East Suffolk Association for the
Blind aims to ensure contact is made with every visually impaired
member within two weeks of being requested to do so. Once you
become a member of the Association which will not cost you anything, we
will support you for as long as is necessary and your case file will
not be closed. We do try to make contact with all of our members
about once a year to see if circumstances have changed and to see if
any new help is required.
During their first visit to you,
the Community Worker will assess your circumstances and needs, and will
endeavour to put in place a plan of action with you, to help you
achieve an independent lifestyle. Areas that will be assessed are
covered in the section entitled ‘
What can East Suffolk Association for the Blind Do for You’
You will be given a Helpline
Card with the name and telephone number of the Community Worker in your
area which will enable you to make contact during normal office hours
Monday to Friday and they will respond to you as soon as is practicable.
