Advice to non-members

Historically, non-members have approached us because they could not access the support they needed for employment and other issues. In recent years we have stepped in to support individuals and practice owners, but unfortunately from 1 January 2020 we will only be able to offer support to members.

If you cannot afford our membership or are a charity provider, please get in touch at [email protected] as we can review your application on a case-by-case basis. Alternatively, you might find the following free resources helpful:

• Official government advice on employing people
• ACAS

We also publish a wide range of free guidance online and through the Optical Confederation (OC), because this benefits the eye health profession and wider sector by reducing risk and cost for all. For example, by having common safeguarding guidance, people who move jobs will be familiar with OC safeguarding guidance.
