This service is for the provision of sight tests and dispensing in a familiar and supportive environment that can meet the individual needs of children and young people in special educational settings.
Sight Testing
• All pupils in residential and day SES are to be offered an annual sight test, (unless a more frequent interval is clinically indicated):
• SES sight testing must be conducted in accordance with regulations and guidance: Opticians Act 1989, section 36(2) / Sight Testing (Examination and Prescription) (No2) Regulations 1989
Accessibility and service hours
• The service will be flexible and responsive to individual pupil needs, ensuring there is a choice of appointments, within reason, to accommodate educational needs and to facilitate parents/carers/guardians attending the appointments.
• Appointments will be provided within SES opening times or outside of educational hours to accommodate pupils in a residential school.
We welcome providers who can demonstrate they meet the service, professional, training and quality requirements. The relevant infrastructure will be required to undertake face-to-face clinics including the equipment required to meet the clinical standards for a sight test. In addition to competency in core areas, additional training requirements will need to be met for working with children, young and vulnerable people.

Sight Testing
• All pupils in residential and day SES are to be offered an annual sight test, (unless a more frequent interval is clinically indicated):
• SES sight testing must be conducted in accordance with regulations and guidance: Opticians Act 1989, section 36(2) / Sight Testing (Examination and Prescription) (No2) Regulations 1989
Accessibility and service hours
• The service will be flexible and responsive to individual pupil needs, ensuring there is a choice of appointments, within reason, to accommodate educational needs and to facilitate parents/carers/guardians attending the appointments.
• Appointments will be provided within SES opening times or outside of educational hours to accommodate pupils in a residential school.
We welcome providers who can demonstrate they meet the service, professional, training and quality requirements. The relevant infrastructure will be required to undertake face-to-face clinics including the equipment required to meet the clinical standards for a sight test. In addition to competency in core areas, additional training requirements will need to be met for working with children, young and vulnerable people.
Providers will be expected to build strong relationships with the schools and the wider SES community to promote both the availability of the service and wider understanding of eye health challenges for SEND children and young people.
A standard service specification and model contract has been developed by NHS England to support this programme: ICB toolkit: CYP SEND sight testing service specification ; General Ophthalmic Additional Services Model Contract
