  • Overview

    The aim

    The perfect antidote to safety cynicism.


    About the programme

    Since the accident that deprived him of three of his five senses, Ken Woodward has become an inspirational consultant and educator on health & safety issues.

    In this short, sharp, compelling new film, we've tracked back to the source of Ken's own inspiration: the training he received at the Royal National Institute of Blind People.

    In the film, Ken re-visits Manor House, where he first came to terms with his blindness, learned a new approach to life and started developing the skills needed to tackle the challenges of sightlessness.

    Remarkably, Ken has never had an accident since his rehabilitation.
