Renfrewshire Council offers a range of services to residents with a significant sensory impairment. Residents who can use these services include:

• deaf or hearing impaired people
• blind or visually impaired people
• people who have dual sensory impairment
• carers and professionals

The services include information and advice, rehabilitation, skill training and supply of specialist equipment. The aim is to help people with sensory impairment to live independently and achieve a good quality of life.

Based at the Mile End Centre in Paisley, our sensory impairment staff are divided into two teams which work closely together. The teams operate within the social work department:
