Anne and I enjoyed presenting on student and staff experiences of using rubrics at The University of Sheffield #education conference today. We've heard great talks and discussions with plenty of ideas for future developments. Thanks to everyone involved.

Poorer children in the UK are more likely to:
be born blind
become blind in childhood
have blindness detected late ( treatment less effective)
have more severe eye disease ➡️blindness in adulthood
& less likely to be offered newer treatments.

Blindness costs.
