RNIB ECLO Quality Framework and Practice Guidelines

Summary

The RNIB ECLO Quality Framework and practice guidance was devised to define the activities of an ECLO based in a hospital setting. Initially launched in 2014, and written in partnership with a range of ECLO providers, the purpose of this updated practice guidance is:
1. To specify the ‘core’ activities common to all ECLOs and their equivalents. The document also refers to additional activities that an ECLO may perform reflecting the potential scope of the role. An outline role description for an ECLO is provided in Appendix 1.
2. To identify relevant standards for activities where appropriate.
3. To provide a common framework for ECLO services, regardless of employer or location.
