One in three young people with vision impairment in England have not gained quality employment despite earning qualifications in line with the general population, according to new research.

The study from the University of Birmingham and Thomas Pocklington Trust tracked 82 young people over 11 years (from age 14 to 25) to improve understanding of why those with vision impairment are vulnerable to becoming long term NEET (not in education, employment, or training).
