Charity appoints Nelsons as an Approved Provider
Derby law firm, Nelsons has received Approved Provider status from Sight Support Derbyshire, a charity dedicated to improving the lives of people with sight loss throughout the county.
Nelsons achieved the Approved Provider accreditation following training of its staff by the charity on how to provide quality services to people with a visual impairment.
Business manager for SightED, Sight Support Derbyshire’s trading arm, Alan McConville commented: “Sight Support Derbyshire is very happy to recommend the services of Nelsons to anyone with a visual impairment. The firm’s staff have undergone our training and demonstrated a commitment to supporting people with a disability.”
Andrew Birchall, an associate in the private client team at Nelsons said: “With 27,000 disabled people in Derby alone, it is important that firms like Nelsons are committed to equipping their staff to provide the right level and type of support for everyone to be able to access advice and services.
“Training by Sight Support Derbyshire was very comprehensive, consisting of effective communication techniques, different types of sight loss and how they affect people, and use of safe guiding techniques to support visually impaired people. We’re delighted to have met the required standards and look forward to working with the charity to support the 4,000 registered blind and partially sighted local people who use their services.”
