[access-uk] Re: Long cane training

The last intake of rehab officers at the Guide Dog training college was just that - the last lot. The present rehab officers are going to be downgraded or given other duties. The idea is to get the rehab course to be a university course, perhaps tagged on to social work, then for the Guide Dogs to pass on their training material to the university's. So far, four university's have signed up for the course.

If what you say is correct, it is an absolute disgrace.

Hi Andy

You should get long cane training from Guide Dogs, but I don't know for
how 
much longer they will be offering the service as they are cutting back on
rehab officers.
