Jackie Beckford

(Visual Impairment Specialist Support Assistant)

I am the Nursery Nurse for our Nursery provision part-time and also the Visual Impairment Specialist Support Assistant (VISSA). I have over ten years experience of working with children and adults with additional needs and have always worked within the area of visual impairment. I have previously worked within educational, care and health settings and most recently in a school and college as part of a team assessing and meeting the needs of children with Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI). I am a qualified Nursery Nurse and graduated in 2012 from Plymouth University with a degree in Health and Social Care. I am currently completing my Post Graduate Diploma in the Education of Children with Vision Impairment at the University of Birmingham. I feel very proud to be part of the team at Vranch House, and I am working with the whole staff team to develop a new specialism in VI within the school.
